960 in live would be awesome!

It takes 5 minutes to implement chess 960, not 3 years, holy christ. You will be the only online site offering it to a huge demand. Monopoly. Money. Cash. Women. 

Wake up.

It was nice that the staff (people from chess.com) reply to the question

When Chess960 Live?

I need my fix of 960 live!!

Anyone know when it will be available in live ??

Standard chess is 1400 years over-due for an over-haul! It is an obsolete relic of the past. There is no place for for standard chess in the modern world.

Chess960 is the future!!!

oh man!! I totally agree with you. Need some GM's playing world 960 championships. *they probably are already* ~~ I need to search utube.

There are videos of Nakamura playing 960 on YouTube.  I also have a 960 video (just on how to setup the board with a die), search InfinityCurve.

However, I disagree chess is "obsolete", I enjoy 960 though. Smile

I like both standard and 960.

However a 960 live chess would be perfect !

No problem, just go to Votechess. There are two 960 games going right now. One of which is just starting, too.

960 live games would be fun!  They should have that!What is "Bug House chess"?

Avatar of 1RedKnight99

"Bughouse" is when there are 4 players, and when one captures a piece he can give it to his teammate. His teammate can drop the piece on the board in an empty square. When one player is checkmated, that team wins.

Oh man... Weird, whacky stuff.

chesscube.com has live 960.  That's were I go to play.  Sometimes you have to wait around for a while and a lot of people will abort the game if they don't like the set up, which is annoying.  But it's there.

Around June Chess.com said in the roadmap that Live 960 would come out in late 2012.

Every time I see this site go down for maintinence I cross my fingers for live 960.  Chesscube works for it but I don't like the site design and would much rather play it here.

I can't understand why this isnt an option. This thread is four years old so I suspect it's never going to happen.

Avatar of egdodnoj

I suspect some hold out chess purist in the higher ups of the staff that just hates variants and is holding up live 960 to be a dick.  At least thats how I imagine it.

Live Chess 960 is coming to Chess.com. It is in the works! I haven't interviewed everyone, but I'm pretty sure no one harbors an extreme dislike for the variants. :)
