I would like to invite you to discuss the future of traditional chess ... I am studying chess variants for years, inventing variants and came to a conclusion ... traditional chess is simply boring ... there is something repealing in this game ... over and over again the same openings and I wish every game started somewhere in the middle ... this is why I play mostly variants and the more crazy the better for me ... playing just one variant of chess (which is traditional form) is like playing the same music all the time ...who can stand it ? can you ? I cannot ... musical notes and chess pieces have many similarities and they can and should be used in a number of ways ... Fisher Random Chess is a step into right direction, but even this novelty is somewhat boring ... chess evolve all the time and not very long time ago there were no castling, en passant and even a queen didn't move the way we know it moves today ... so, let's look at chess as something ever changing and accept, that we play only a variant of cosmic chess idea ... I would appreciate your thoughts ...
Herlock Sholmes: I like chess variant very much, but only on internet and in pub. Its very funny to play in pub bughouse or dice chess. Classical chess are like serious old professor, but I like him!
lukulus: chess variants are so refreshing ... I cannot stand playing first 10 or so moves in traditional game ... it's like singing the same song over and over again. This is me. There are different personalities ... and what I discovered recently is playing with dice ... to my big surprise there are many very interesting situations during the game of dice chess ... and yet you do not have to spend hours on analyzing your next move ... it's more like backgammon, where you know immediately (in most cases) what to play ... it's more dynamic and more fun.
