Chess960 is Chess

Just because the pieces in the back are totally mixed up, does this make chess960 not chess? Of course not! Even if I started a game with you with two pawns and a King, that would STILL be chess. Am I wrong? No way! Chess is chess no matter what. If it uses the same pieces on the same board and the pieces do the same thing, than it is chess. Complaints?

Okay, will hows come scrabble isn't a "different form of chess"? They both have the same goals do they not?

I am not Chinese and I have only heard of Chinese people who's name is "Wong".

Does weird stuff count as claim peoples names are "Wong".

So if I was a champion in a form of poker that is "a different form" because all of the cards in the middle are face down, and all of the players cards are face up, would I be a champion in normal poker? Especially since the only reason I am a champion is because I'm the only person who's actually played it!

"he is good in a different form of poker and not good in the other" Yes and if "he" played chess 960 he would be good in chess 960 and not the other.

It is not chess!!!!

It is a form of chess; different strategies. There is an article (or blog) about it written by GM. Chess960 starts out like a different game, but many later positions become more "chess-like" and include "chess-like" strategies. Thus, a form of game develops into a form of chess.

So if all these weird games with the same goal: winning; are just "different forms of chess", than why isn't scrabble a different form of chess?

BECUASE ITS A HOLE DIFFRENT GAME OK STOP WITH THE SCRABBLE

Is softball a type of baseball? Yes it is. Is "slow pitch" softball a variant of softball? Yes it is (not a very good one in my opinion). Are "pitch and put" and miniature golf variants of 18 hole golf played on courses of hundreds of yards lond? Yes they are. Is ice hockey simply field hockey played on ice? Except for the fact that a "puck" instead of a ball is used in ice hockey, they are basically the same game. Are little kids playing on 8 foot high baskets for playing basketball still playing the same game as older people playing on 10 foot high baskets? Again, yes it is. My point is that variants of various activities are permitted and do have a following.

That is very true!

Ok are little kids who are grandmasters at the level 1 computer by using the hint machine the same rating as Magnus Carlson?

Brudo_the_Chess_King

no and what is your point

 

BR298-NuclearFusion

Ok think about it this way: Your compare basketball for adults with a 10" hoop to kids with an 8" hoop. But it's the same game. Well the same chess game can be played wit a level 10 computer for adults, and a level 1 for kids.

 

Brudo_the_Chess_King

ok you still    um HAVE NOT POINT

 

BR298-NuclearFusion

He has no point for saying that basketball with a lower hoop is still basketball!!!!
