What is Chess960?

"Chess960 or Fischer Random Chess is a chess variant invented by former World Champion Bobby Fischer by modifying the rules of Shuffle Chess so that castling possibilities exist for all starting positions. It was originally announced on June 19, 1996, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The chess variant emphasizes creativity and talent instead of memorization and analysis of opening moves by using a randomized initial chess position. The name 'Chess960' is due to the 960 possible initial positions." - Wikipedia

Every week, Chess Association members learn about different openings and defenses from one of our top rated players, Girolamo, from Italy.
