What is the difference between chess 960 and regular chess?
The starting position is different. Pawns in the same place but the back row is randomized, with the same position on both sides. There are some rules for how they are actually placed and the the name comes from there being 960 valid starting configurations.
Castling is also slightly different, due to the changed positions, but the king and appropriate rook go to the same squares the would in a normal casting situation.
Started this thread in 2009... finally had a game... hadn't realised the new site had gone live for free members....
