960 is awesome! http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/141/16/what-is-chess960
The starting position is somewhat randomized. Pawns are like normal, but pieces are jumbled with a few restrictions: King must be somewhere between rooks, bishops must be of opposite colours, Blacks pieces must mirror White's. It is mostly a way to bypass opening theory. I for one don't care for it very much.
Could you explain what it is and how you play it?
