Everyone knows that there is perhaps a 100 persons, from which half in this forum, doing for fun one day FRC, whereas there is a hundreds of millions that likes to keep updated upon how things go in real chess. The market difference is a factor 1 million and that ain't a joke. You can't live from something that doesn't get practiced by persons. There is no FRC clubs. There is no international competition with GMs playing FRC for money. There is no nothing about it. It is a joke to say that it would attract persons. It is the usual toying. I each year get a dude email me about a new game or chess variant or some other new game at a chessboard. He (always a he, don't ask me why, seems men are bigger idiots) then asks whether i want to write software for it, because i also have written for all kind of chess variants and checkers and other non-played games, software. I then ask: "how are you going to pay me?" "if i sell the game well you will get a peanut from what i earn!" That's usually what they say then. Of course i know they won't sell at all well. In this case there is not even peanuts!
