Random Lengths

Finally, asked whether she’d like Fischerandom chess to be included in the programmation of the Online Speed Championship, four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) answered diplomatically that it might be interesting, of course, although its guiding principle of avoiding theory and schematizations does not make so much sense with such a format, where the fast and superfast time controls would make the random arrays more unfamiliar and therefore more difficult to cope, behind and beyond the screen.
