What is chess 960??

beardedchicken

It is a variant of chess. The pawns are set up on the board as usual. However, the back rank pieces(knights, bishops, rooks, king, and queen) are arranged randomly. There are 960 different starting positions. Chess960 is a great way of testing your true playing level , as it puts aside opening preparation.
