I can't figure out how to challenge a person to a live game of 960.  Not even really sure what Chess 960 is but fro what I ahve gathered, I know it has something to do with not having to memorize openings.  I wanted to play a game yet do not see the option.  Thanks  Bob

V3 will supposedly have live Chess 960, but for now you'll have to settle for correspondence chess (what Erik annoyingly insists on calling "online chess"). It's one of the options; there's a roll down menu that switches between standard and chess 960.  Hope that helps...

Thanks.  At least I know I am not crazy for not being able to locate it.

It's what Fischer invented after he left" old chess". It's where the pieces on the first row are randomly placed for both sides.
