Shame on FIDE for staying with the same tired format. Would not it be a better test by now as to who is best to play Fischer Random Chess? Or eventually something of what CVPage has put forth. Not necessarily in any priority: why not what Daniels suggests, Displacement Chess (as a wildcard format) since in fact it was done by masters before in 1930's? Or what Chess Cafe's Tim Harding suggests in 1997 article, ''Bring Back Free Castling,'' for 8x8 revision. These three ideas would be nothing radical for FIDE. Nor Speed Chess. They would have 3 or 6 times the interest if they updated the formula. The reason is that in fact Computers are the champion (TogaII, Rybka), that could lay to waste either Anand or Kramnik. Before input from any Chess Variant Page ''Next Chess,'' Fide already should have been more innovative. What face-off would you like to see besides what we will witness again starting October 11, namely, half Draws?
