    How do I post a Chess 960 game? I recently played one with a friend and I want to post it, but I don't know how to post a 960 game.

    You follow the same process you would when posting a normal game except you go "Game or sequence of moves" then " Start with a blank chessboard" then you'll see pictures of little chess pieces on your upper right. You can grab these and drag them over to the board to set the 960 starting position. Then you just click on enter moves and proceed normally.

    The only problem is it won't let me castle.

    Or you could just copy the .pgn file from your 960 game and paste it in the .pgn box.

    Oh yeah... castling.

    I tested the .pgn and yeh it does work but you have to copy the whole thing that looks like this:

    [Event "Online Chess"]
    [Site "Chess.com"]
    [Date "2009.10.12"]
    [Round "1"]
    [White "ooda_loop"]
    [Black "Greff"]
    [Result "1-0"]
    [WhiteElo "1345"]
    [BlackElo "1135"]
    [TimeControl "1 in 7 days"]
    [Termination "ooda_loop won by checkmate"]
    [Variant "Chess960"]
    [SetUp "1"]
    [FEN "rnkrbnqb/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNKRBNQB w KQkq - 0 1"]

    1.Nc3 f6 2.d4 Bf7 3.e4 d5 4.g3 c6 5.Ne3 e6 6.Rd3 Bg6 7.O-O-O e5 8.f4 dxe4 9.Bxe4 Bxe4 10.Nxe4 Qxa2
     11.Ra3 Qe6 12.f5 Qe7 13.d5 cxd5 14.Nxd5 Qd7 15.Qc5+ Nc6 16.Ba5 b6 17.Bxb6 axb6 18.Nxb6+ Kc7 19.Rxd7+ Nxd7 20.Nxa8+ Kb8
     21.Qd6+ Kb7 22.Qc7# 1-0

    then paste it into the "start with pgn" box. I don't know how much of it you need for it to work. The main thing is that it has the FEN which is the notation used to show the starting position.
