In chess the pieces are placed in standar positions.
In chess960 the pieces are placed in random positions.There are 960 possible positions that is why it is called chess960.
There are no openings in chess960 and that was the purpose of Fischer who invent it.Imagine if you had to study openings for 960 different starting positions!!!!!!It's a game of chess where it's you against your opponent from the first move.No opening theory , no databases.
The rules are the same but for the begginers castling might be consfusing
Hi i have recently started a game of chess960 can anyone explain me the difference between chess960 and standard chess and also the rule so chess960 and also the types of openings that we have.
