If you even bother to check my games I’ll blunder in the opening in 50% of them. I’m not good at 960 because I don’t have the positional understanding, but sure tell me I suck cause I can’t memorize opening. Oh and thanks for the compliment that I have good memory lmao.

Its one of the best things i discovered.. It is pure calculation since you cant really memorize openings unlike classic chess. In chess 960 you can put your mind into work and you will never face an opponent who isn't because they have memorized a bunch of books and openings...etc. not to mention.. IT IS ANTI CHEAT. Since every game is so unique you cannot use a bot to calculate the best moves since there isnt a bot for your game. Why nobody plays chess 960? Pure strategy unlike the limitations of classical chess were 70%+ of high lvl games have to be played with memory and little to no thinking, anti cheat and fking fun af. Its obvious why most of you wont play chess 960.. Because the only reason you play chess is to LOOK smart.

Its not anti cheat, you can just insert any position in chessbase 15

like i said. The strength of the bots you see on classic chess is only that high because they have added all the books and opening variations to reduce the time it takes them to play a move. I am a programmer and i have made my own chess bot for uni so i know how they work. Even if you put the positions in the machine the machine will not show you the best possible moves as it cannot calculate all the moves and possible scenarios. 

If you think bots are only good because they know openings, then you clearly don't know how bots work. Yeah, they can't calculate all possible scenarios, but they can calculate much faster and deeper than any human.

A baseball analogy----Chess 960 is like a batter hitting against a knuckleballer pitcher, and Standard chess is a regular pitcher...

Standard Chess is challenging enough.

960 is buried under 4 clicks, would be nice if it were featured side by side with Chess1
