It is of course difficult to ensure that the two player pools are the same...
Accuracy in Chess 960 vs Normal Chess
Sort:
In 960 otherwise sane players seem to throw basic chess principles away.
I play 3 min tournaments on this site.
Opponents in the 1400 -1600 range have no qualms about indiscriminately throwing around flank pawns, castling into compromised situations [usually Q side] and generally disregarding
normal development.
If we compare a large sample of normal chess games with chess 960 games, by how much does the average accuracy rating differ? Of course, the time control in both pools must be the same. Did anybody do some research on this?
I am wondering about how much we play worse in 960 because we are facing less well known patters. Hope my question makes sense.
