It's not catching my imagination, i haven't studied chess 15 years just to switch to some variant of the game. What is the purpose of you switching when you haven't mastered the original version of the game. FRC is just an excuse for people to make themselves feel better, by telling themselves that they lose because they don't know the openings well enough, and telling themselves theyd be a master if they didn't have to learn opening theory. Further removing opening theory from the game makes it a less difficult game. Chess is great because it is HARD! Why on earth would anyone want to dumb down the game?
