What would you say about the latest proposed methods to freshen up the whole system?
FischerChess, perhaps..?
(I haven't played chess for years, and was maybe ~1700 ELO at my peak, but the drama is always fascinating for some reason, lol)
I haven't been following proposed rating system changes if that's what you're asking. Variants like Chesd960 are interesting but obviously should have their own rating pools.
