I'm a fan of the chess 960 variant and also the live chess features on the site - but I can't currently do the two together! Is there any plans or general desire to add this to live chess?. I think in some ways it would be even better as a lot of the live chess games players (myself included) play with a lot of stock opening moves so this could bring quite exciting and open games.

I also think this would be a good idea

+1

As was discussed in the "state of chess.com," there are no plans as of yet to implement it seeing as...

Oh yeah...

Live 2.0 isn't even finished yet.

Mmmm logic.

I'd rather see a good version of Live Standard Chess first.

I dont know if  i can mention other chess sites but you can play Chess960(FischerRandom) On chesscube.com

hmmm...

yea 960 in live chess. I am not a fan of turn based games, so yea. That'll be nice.

this is a good idea!

but what is chess 960?

I agree completely. Although some of us play 960 in online as if it were a Live game, ie not spending months on it but trying to finish it in a day or two. 

I think they're going to have that in the new Live chess 3

Is that ready? I mean is it possible to play CHess960 in Live chess?

Any timetable (estimate) for when Live chess 3 would be available?  (so that chess960 live is possible)

No its not possible yet, maybe sometime in the future though

Thanks! It would be really good to play chess960 in Live chess... probably i would go back there ... :)

not yet

i hope they ad it, i was just about to post a topic on that.

+1 it's lame playing the same opening over and over and over and over and over...

Definite plans or just a vague possibility of getting to it someday?
