"In my "ideal world", every round of every tournament will start with a completely different starting position."

Great idea for a side event. A shame that Bobby Fischer thought of it first. As Fischer felt that pre-analysis and memorization of openings was bad for the game of chess, he proposed a variant where an initial position chosen at random from a set of 960 official starting positions would be used.
