Chess 960 is my favorite chess variant because it is challenging and pushes you think creatively right from the start. Calculation, strategy, and creativity is all what is required to play Chess 960, no rote learning of lines needed! Let’s play!!??

Nepomniachtchi - Nakamura (World Fischer Random - 2022)

"My favorite form of chess is actually chess960. Because there's not much theory, not much preparation, it's very original. With the traditional format, the engines are just getting super strong, and it feels like you have to memorize the first 20-25 moves just to get a game. Bobby Fischer once said that the problem with chess is that you get the same exact starting position over and over. These days, there's 10 million games in the database already, so it's very hard to create original play, while chess960 is really your brain against mine. After the first or second move, you're already thinking." — Wesley So, April 2019

"To me, mainly chess is art — that's why I like Fischer Random a lot; there is a lot of creativity." — Wesley So, November 2019
