In [3] Schafer has defined generalized standard rings as rings satisfying the identities

and observed that these identities imply (y,y, (x, z)) = 0 and if the characteristic is not three, (x, y, x2) = 0. Schafer determined the structure of simple, finite-dimensional generalized standard algebras of characteristic not two or three by showing that they must be either commutative, Jordan, or alternative.

Previously one of us [2] had studied accessible rings, which are defined by the identities (x,y,z) + (z,x,y) – (x,z,y) = 0 and ((w,x), y,z) = 0.
