I heard on a radio show that Bobby Fischer, late in life, invented some new games that would be played with a chess set.  The discussion was about mental health, not chess, so there were no details.  Anybody ever hear of this, or even better know the rules?

Fischer Random (a.ka. Chess 960). Not so much a new game. Still pretty much standard chess played under standard rules, with the exception of the pieces being set up in a ramdom fashion (pawns still start on the standard squares however).
