BLITZ 960!!!!

thank you for your vote skakmadurinn! we are 8-0-0!! have you played many 960 games?

I have played 40 games and I think I am pretty good player :)

Chess 960 is not better than orthodox chess as far as tactic is concern.
In fact, once you reach the middlegame, both are quite similar. 

cll3 do you know the name of the group? I would be more than happy to send them the link to this chat  and list the many reasons why Blitz960 is a great idea. Who is Eric and Danny? If they are the two ppl to speak with, I will speak to them.

skakmadurinn, yes I saw your stats. Impressive, you are really a balanced player with no obvious weaknesses in regard to playing with different sets of times and rules. I don't see that alot.

AngeloPardi, yes you are partially right about similar middlegames. Have you noticed how much faster the middlegame approaches? This actually has a large effect on the complexity of the middlegame. 

Thank You cll3 for trying to write them. They will not pay attention until there is conclusive proof that there is a huge demand for Blitz960. My goal is to gather alot of votes on here and keep documenting everyone's thoughts and feelings on Blitz960, so that I may present it to the right person on here. Maybe I should write the owners of chess.com, after I do.

Thank you cll3 :) I will write to them for sure. What I need to do now is get ppl to comment in here expressing there views on Blitz960 and just Fisher Random its self.

Aweome!!! doduobird123 thank you for your enthusiastic vote :)

with your vote in hand we are at 10-0-0 votes! If you have a friend who likes the idea send him or her here. All I need is your vote!!!

Sorry I need to make a correction on an earlier statement I made.

Hikaru Nakamura (From USA) is the current 960 world Champion.

Someone once aksed me. "Where did the name Chess960 come from? Well accordinng to wikipedia here is the answer...

The variant has held a number of different names. It was initially known as "Fischerandom Chess" after Fischer formalized his variation of Shuffle Chess. Later name forms included "Fischer Random Chess", "FR Chess", and "FRC".

Hans-Walter Schmitt, chairman of the Frankfurt Chess Tigers e.V. and an advocate of the variant, started a brainstorming process for selecting a new name, which had to meet requirements of leading grandmasters; specifically, the new name and its parts:

• It should not contain part of the name of any grandmaster.
• It should not include negatively biased or "spongy" elements (such as "random" or "freestyle").
• It should be universally understood.

The effort culminated in the name choice "Chess960" – derived from the number of different possible starting positions.

R. Scharnagl, another proponent of the variant, advocated the term "FullChess". However today he uses FullChess to refer to variants which consistently embed standard chess (e.g. Chess960, and some new variants based on the extended 10×8 piece set in Capablanca chess). He currently recommends the name Chess960 in preference to Fischer Random Chess for the variant.

Bobby Fischer never publicly stated his feeling about the name 'Chess960'.

yep i want it as well. Many people do, but apparently chesss.com doesn't care for it.

Thank You nl2338 for your input. Chess.com I believe does want to add Blitz960, but they just do not have a census from us! As well as raising awarness for this idea I want to create a Vote on the ain page for ppl to vote for or against Blitz960. Soon I will be posting my favorite 960 game that I played so that everyone can see how much fun a 960 game can be!

So I'll take your vote here now its at 11-0-0!!!

Well, after 2 instructive games with you, I think having Chess960 as an option in Live Chess sounds like a good idea. You can add my vote.
