OK.

You will be adventuring over the horizon !. Chears

what rules? 

I assume all rules are the same except for piece position, correct?

So what happens if I want to castle?

There's no such thing as chess960... I have, however, heard of Fischer random.

So not true...

Don't get me started...

yes sure

you can castle. same rules but in castling is a bit different. you will find it out such i did.

I have written something similar before here.  Several questions:  Is it not a major accomplishment to draw a game that one was close to losing?   Does anyone seriously think that ratings would be significantly different in 960 than those in Chess?  A disciplined, experienced play will far outrank one without those qualities.  

soon there's gonna be opening books on all possible 960 positions

yes maybe there are already some and we dont know it

Where did you get that information?  How many 960 players are there out there who might buy such books? Did you read the comment above yours?

i did. and i answered. and i didnt say i m sure

As far as I know there are only analysis books of Chess960 games. They only show tactics and strategical ideas, though, so it's not that new, only more thought provoking in a way that you need to think outside the box.

CHESS 960 books are to come ; After 960 is properly introduce and explained the advantage that this "SCRAMBLED" pieces on the chess board has for the CREATIVE THINKERS vs. OPENING MEMORIZERS 

CHESS 960 is ALL GOOD ! ; Is the natural EVOLUTION of this GREAT GAME ! TRAY IT EXPERIENZE IT .

960 chess makes players think about positional and tactical possibilities.  Some players who are challenged  by tactics and general positional consideration are able to get a decent game by learning a great deal of opening theory.
