Gary, If this had been correct that chessplayers are enjoying all kinds of chess variants then everything would be ok. Truth is that hardly anybody knows what Omega Chess is. And this is what we are trying to remedy here by discussing which type of chess variant could appeal to the average player. Fide-chess is approaching a crisis. The game is becoming too well-researched. In my country 50% of the players have been lost in 20 years, for a number of reasons. And they don't turn to Makruk or Omega Chess.
