I am of the belief unless we develop a common lexicon for terminology we can use when talking to one another, and a common taxonomy used to discuss elements, the idea if a 'Next Chess' is never going to happen. Note the lexicon and taxonomy don't need to be enforced set of standards, but a tool used so people know what the heck everyone is talking about. Anyhow, that is my take. I believe focus needs to be there. Outside of that, you will likely find a stumbling method of going from one fad to another that will end up fragmenting the community of players. Whether it be 'The Next Chess', 'Chess of Tomorrow', or whatever else will fit into IAGO Chess, having common points of reference will be needed. Pretty much it is making oneself more conscious of what exactly is going on in the chess variant community today. Just my 2 cents...
