Fischer Random is starting to gain a bit of traction now it seems. At the top level players are apparently burned out on the enormous amount of opening study needed to compete in tournaments. Personally I find regular chess hard enough, and am usually out of opening prep by the second move!

I also read that rumor about him playing online, but I don't think it's true. He barely played (regular) chess in his later years and although he would regularly analyze games (mainly to "prove" one of this pet conspiracy theories that the Karpov Kasparov world championship matches had been entirely prearranged) he always used an analog set, usually a leather pocket set he carried around with him. So I don't believe Bobby ever embraced or so much as entertained using computers for chess.
