We already got it here.
When will Fischer Random Chess be implemented???

@ Noxxion: You´ve been here for 3 months, and you haven´t noticed? By the way, if you start a topic, please SEARCH first in the forums, and you´ll see there were already hundreds of topics about "fischerrandom chess" or "chess 960"...
@ Estragon: You´re completely right, with the thousands of openings and millions of variations and endless ending games, how could regular chess be dull? =)
Playing with the same opening position is certainly dull, but it also encourages new players to memorize openings for a quick "Blitzkrieg" attack at the early game against their novice opponent (such as the fried-liver attack or the scholar's mate).
With the F.R. rule, pawns remain in their original position while the back rank pieces gets randomly shuffled in a stochastic manner. In this way, players will have to use their intuition to decide what their best first/second/third and so on moves are rather than memorizing them in a rigid manner.
After that being said, Will Chess.com be possibly the first to make this revolutionary change?
