Chess960 or how and wherefore

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.

 
It is often difficult to convince seasoned classics players to a new variant of chess. It is a good to take part in the game and try this interesting game. Tournaments are also offered, as well as here at chess.960.cz. Accessible is a calendar and an overview of tournaments in the 960-s.
New and complex rules? No, read what the author Bobby Fischer claims:  
The rules are almost the same, the position of pawns and movement of pieces. The new rules are essentially only two:

• Starting position of pieces is randomly set up.
• The king is placed somewhere between the two rooks.

 
Just specify that the only unusual thing is the castling. The king and the rook after the castling of course must take the same positions as in classical chess, not to pass through squares that are under attack, not to be in check or end in a square which is under attack, but that's known, it's the same - see details in the rules.
 
Chess960 has a number of advantages. Above all it is really creative game and for those who do not like to analyse the opening and do not love theoretical disputes in the long, in advance prepared variations, it's an ideal game full of beauty and tension from the first move. On the board are formed a lot of interesting atypical positions that hide, for both sides, outstanding opportunities and completely new ideas. A player from the first move use his own head and learn improving his own chess strategy opening, regardless of the current, already well developed, theory of openings.
There are 960 possible initial positions, which currently precludes the home preparation comparable with classical chess. The initial positions started being analysed by computer, but who will ever remember all of them? And if so, the possibility of practical applications home prepared variation is about 960 times smaller. However, the basic principles of chess openings are still valid, even in 960-s! A chess literature and chess programs already exist for Chess960, chess servers on the Internet are already running and there are many websites such as these on the web!
