{original quote, from, 'moi'!}.. Supposedly .. Both 'chess' & 'chess- 960'.. are 'games' of 'complete information'.. Where, Nothing is 'hidden' from being calculated, in advance; But, Clearly - 'Chess-960' .. Especially, when playing, the 'black' colors - Is, as if, the 'chess-variant-gods', are daring you, Not, to 'screw up', by losing !

<AussieRookie> you nailed it!! :-)
