Speaking of variant chess... do you like playing Chess960? I know bughouse chess is popular in Chess Clubs but I don't hear anything from people about Chess960/Fischer Random Chess. Is it just a technicality that people don't know how to randomize the pieces at setup?  

I'm not a fan of Chess960, but then again, I haven't played many variant games... I haven't heard about it much in clubs either.

I'm playing one right now with Fantation. We decided to try it and so far im not even used to playing this style. This wrecks all the strategies out of me

If I want to play correspondance chess at my club, do I still have to put a stamp on the envelope ?

rockpeter

So if I check my opponent Im not suppose to say check ? And if I have a check mate, I'm not suppose to say checkmate ?  So how do I win again ?
