It's forgivable since clearly you're not a baseball fan but in fact there have been massive rule changes in recent years, most with the goal of making games shorter, and most regarded as successful. More coming, too.

Once Poker on chia is a reality we will see some exiting stuff. Double gambling :) on the game of poker itself and then on the xch course as a second bet. I can see how a more gambling oriented crowd of chess players would be interested in a more offensive high stakes chess games which leads me to my next question. How reaktiv are even Future games of chess with the advent of AI etc. will everything be reduced to live events or monitored events?

These proposals are too crazy. We should just have the championship at faster time controls. It’s more exciting to watch, it gives us time to have more games in the tournament leading up to the championship, and we’ve already made changes to them in the past.

Shortening the time controls so that even very good players blunder is one way to reduce draws but the chess championship title is supposed to be about who plays the best chess not the fastest chess. There are blitz tournaments but that's something else.
