From the point of view of people who don't play chess and want to learn it, Chess960 is an even more difficult and incomprehensible game than chess. The pieces stand more or less awkwardly and the castling rule is completely illogical. It would help a bit if Chess1440 (without castling) was Chess instead of Chess960. For the audience and popularity of chess, I think some version of chess where there is no draw would be interesting.
