The article was originally published last year: http://io9.gizmodo.com/how-chess-has-changed-over-the-last-150-years-1707692642.
I found it interesting. I was also intrigued that it references an article on hypermodernism published here by GM Julio Becerra and a forum thread by Andrew Jeselson.
Just a very interesting article I found recently:

It makes me wonder what chess will be like in 150 years from now.
