 But there are many other that are interested. I was like you and in fact i
didn't want to listen for FRC at all, but when i started playing it or watching
programs play it, i discovered that what it fascinates me at Chess, the tactical
attacking games, happen at FRC much more frequently.
 People should pay a little more attention to some Chess variants and forget
thinking like: "Chess is the best and played for hundreds of years, so forget
everything else!" I was even disgusted with the idea of playing FRC, but now i'm
completely in the other side..........

Can you imagine that FRC will

 This is not critical at all. It doesn't matter. Does FRC has to reach Chess
popularity to start people playing it? I don't think so. We have Chess as the
king, but this should not prevent us playing more games and especially FRC that
is Chess with more fire on the board..........
