Future of chess

Have to disagree.  Chess will never be solved by humans.  So why create different forms of chess?  i would rather keep learning new things in the classic game.

I'm just saying you clearly are self-promoting. And I struggle to see rating's relevancy here

Its about having the right chess variant. The current game was chess variant anyway, but modern chess is nearly a perfect game in its current form. That is why it is so hard to make a better variant chess then the current chess game. I believe there will be a time in the future when we have such a variant but the current ones are not good enough.

It can seem monotonous to dedicate your entire chess life to regular chess. Why so hesitant about variants folks. It's like never leaving New York City or London.

Of course people have the capacity to learn other variants but it seems that are not prioritized.

Take for example Seirawan Chess (S-Chess) or Capablanca Chess. New pieces add some refreshment to the game. Classical chess is always the same within the rules.
