Fischerrandom is here. Discussion whether Chess960 (960 s) or Fischer Chess, yes or no, are behind us. Chess960 is in the official FIDE rules from the 1st July 2009, this modification already has the world champion in the categories of men, women and computers since 2001. You can see a table with an overview of world champions e.g. wikipedia.
We play classic chess, therefore why not to play also the Chess960 when even the best chess players around the world play it.
And Czech top players? Navara, Simacek and others our best players play it, see articles about the Republic Championship.
Chess960, or Fischer Random Chess (also written Fischerrandom and Fischerandom), is a chess variant produced by the late former World Champion Bobby Fischer by modifying the rules of Shuffle Chess so that castling possibilities exist for all starting positions. It was originally announced on June 19, 1996, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Fischer's goal was to create a chess variant in which chess creativity and talent would be more important than memorization and analysis of opening moves. His approach was to create a randomized initial chess position, which would thus make memorizing chess opening move sequences useless.
The initial position is set up in a special way and there are 960 such positions, thus the name 'Chess960'.
