Bobby Fischer attempted to solve the rote memorization problem by creating Fischer Random Chess: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess

With 960 possible starting positions, opening line memorization is far beyond current human capacity.

There have been some recent Random Chess tournaments with high level GMs like Magnus and they’re pretty fun and entertaining. Chess.com has some great live coverage and analysis of these events as well as classical chess tournaments.
