No cost at all when spread over all the many 960 fans leaving the real chess to the rest of us.

So low cost plus benefit.

So you're just trolling? How hard is it not to read Chess960 content? Dude, you're out of line.

If Chess960 is so popular why not have its own site? How many people accidently join these events? So defensive.

Why do you care? Because you once accidentally joined a Chess960 tournament here and were offended by it?

I do not like fairy chess - I care about 500 years of praxis. Why do you care?

I have peaks at FIDE Chess and I curious about over version/variants of the game. I would hate for malcontents to ruin the space for creativity. (500 years is nothing, imho)

You could have your own playground. What is wrong with that?

DerekDHarvey

Other variants could join you.
