Moves are the same except for castling only the pieces are in different positions. The opening is the key to 960; analyze where your lines of attack are and your weak points. Then just do what you would normally do: control center, develop your pieces etc. By the middle game it is pretty similar to regular chess, just with some strange positions sometimes. Tactics and board vision are crucial.

Many thanks to you hrobert5.Can you explain castling to me in chess960,as you say,"Moves are the same except for castling".
Thanking you very kindly,
Chess_guy72.
its hard to explain since the rooks are in a different position everytime. Basically its like regular; king two spaces and rook flops to other side.
Many thanks.It is a matter of playing that version in order to get used to the way it is played.I may give it a try sometime.
Many thanks for your help.

Hello checkmates,
How does one play chess960? I take it that the moves are similar to that of turn-base games.
Many thanks,
