According to Kasparov Classical Chess could be replaced by a more creative Chess, if one position of Chess960 is played per year. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2326 " For instance, I’m in favor of at least investigating doing one position per year from Chess960. I know the reaction is “Aahhh, horrible!” Most players think it’s terrible, saying the purpose is to start each game from scratch. I don’t think so, I think the point is to create more space for creativity. If you have a position for a year you can’t go too far in analysis. You can reach move maybe four or five, that’s a lot of room for creativity. That doesn’t mean classical chess must die. I think it should stay, and the title should stay. But things have to be different now. Every system has to be adjusted to the demands and judged by its financial viability. That’s what other players don’t understand. A system is good if it attracts the public, television, and money. Otherwise the system is not good, at least for professional chess. Kramnik said he wants to “paint.” Okay, paint, but don’t ask money for it."
