why not?
I mean, someone invented dianetics and they sell lots of books and courses on that
Is Chess 960 all that different?
XD Trolls...
LOL if you can memorize 960 positions 5 moves deep...... Ridiculous.
there are several books by this title but there is one called "the art of attack in chess". It deals with hyper-modern theory and creating focal points. Removed from typical center game theory I think this book would help the most as it focuses on basics like Keeping Bishop lines open, putting the bishops on long diagonals. how to co-ordinate rooks behind minor pieces to launch attacks. It's these type tactics that will serve you the best in 960. Fundaments without without having to worry about memorized opening traps..

That's pretty much what 960 is about. Fischer was frustrated with the obsessive preparation rituals that his opponents (and any player in general) would have to go through just so they could get to the meat of the game - the middle and end-game[*]. By randomising the starting position, the only preparatory incentive is to know how the pieces interact with each other!
[*] note that Carlsen shows a similar distaste for openings, often dissuading his opponents from the main lines to even out the playing field
For those that missed here is AWESOME Interview with Carlsen just caught it today! Dwight from the Office in a trippy bus motif.. its pretty cool don't miss!!

Who has the best book for Chess 960?
I feel like having a shot at it, but I don't want to get caught out in the first few moves
