No Castle Chess
Do you think 'No Castle Chess' will come to Chess.com and LiChess?

Re: No Castle Chess
King's Leap and castling were originally added to escape the quick checkmates of the newly powerful Bishop and Queen back in the 15th century. Does the removal of castling and weakening of KB2 give any of the classical attacking openings more life?
Other games like Makruk and Shogi deal with the lack of castling by pushing the pawns up a rank, giving the king more initial mobility to move into any of several castle formations.

Re: No Castle GM Anand Vs Kramnik
I have observed some NCC games between Anand vs Kramnik and it is a very interesting way to prevent your us from memorizing openings up to move 12 or so, but lets say that I always open with 1. c4 as white, after I have played about 80 games with 1. c4 I should almost become an expert with it, and why is GM Anand so afraid to open with anything else, Kramnik should study with Stockfish all the best response to Anand 1. c4 knowing what Anand and how he would play and surprise Anand. Well at least we can study this 1. c4 opening and learn the best response to it in case it becomes as popular as Chess960 (FRC). Notice that we can NOT call it English since there is no Castling
