Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, let me ask you a question.

Don't you find FRC much more exciting compared to standard chess, which now in
the computer age has turned into more of a memory game rather than a calculating
one?

There is so much more variety with FRC, classical chess is the same old openings
everytime, rehersed and rehersed.

FRC atleast gives variety and true skill is shown, rather than grandmasters
hiring coaches to find the best moves prior to the game
