The world chess 960 group challenged us....lets give them a good turn out. ...easy link for the match : http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=50488

last call for 3 posted matches....take a look before I lock in our current players!

Mr. Bill did you accept or even post a challenge in standard chess? Like the one against the Blind Tigers? I don't play standard here - only Chess960.

As we've got all the same initial position you might perhaps benefit from my 2 short wins:-) This position is extremely dangerous for both sides!

C'mon guys and join the Nepal match. There's a big haul to be made

I accepted the challenge of the Magic Indians. I registered first but will stay out if there's no appropriate opponent. So please join this one, for the Nepal Match we still need a 5th player!

I removed myself from the team list playing against the e4 lovers. Their highest rated player in Chess960 has 1850 rating points and might perhaps not want to play me. It should be different now but I still want to play if they have any player whose rating is superior to the one they already registered.

I am seriously ticked off realizing that my two points against the Chess960 Players Group have been all for nothing because this guy sgolemi resigned after 5 moves against his opponent without being forced to. Then looking at his profile I realized that he is member of the opposite team too. So, either players of this team are not allowed to play one of their own teams or I will remove myself from the team list when they do.

There're some good Chess960 resources out there. This is a great site, with lots of tips, links to instructional videos and games. It's a blog run by Mark Weeks, who posts often, so put it in a RSS/reader application like Google Reader or Bloglines to follow it. The Chess960 wikipedia article is a good place to start. The only tricky thing about Chess960 is the castling rules, and these are carefully explained there. I'll post more resources as I find them. Maybe I'll mine Mark Week's blog and come up with some categories. A wiki might be a better way to organize this than a forum. Perhaps we could put some resources up as wikia pages.

Hi all, I am always happy to play, if and that's a big IF my opponents are not rated too low. Let's make it 150 rating points lower than mine. Playing Chess960 since long it's much more of a real challenge when your opening repertoire, your databases, your theoretical compendia etc. don't work. Have a good time all together blizzsorc
