Chess 960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a chess variant created by Bobby Fischer where the starting position of pieces on the back rank is randomized, with some constraints, while the pawns remain in their standard positions. This aims to reduce reliance on memorized opening theory and encourage more creative play.

Magnus Carlsen scores a perfect 9/9 at the Grenke Freestyle chess open. An amazing achievement akin to Bobby Fisher scoring 11/11 in the 1963/64 US Chess Championship:

Questo il primo match tra #Carlsen e #Nakamura in #FreeStyleChess (variante #chess960) vinto dal primo

Ma non posto questo per la partita in sé, visto si giocherà domani il secondo match

Lo posto perché trovo semplicemente IMPRESSIONANTE e bellissimo vedere che colui che ha PERSO (che cmq è un MOSTRO a scacchi) si metta immediatamente online ad analizzare la sua partita, spiegando i suoi errori con onestà e sincerità

Lo farà per clic, ok, ma cmq IMHO non è da tutti

Tomorrow Hikaru Nakamura plays Vincent Keymer and Magnus Carlsen plays Fabiano Caruana in the semi finals of Freestyle chess Paris grand slam. Vincent Keymer won a thrilling tiebreaker against Ian Nepomniachtchi.

After defeating the world numer 1 Magnus Carlsen in the semifinals, Vincent Keymer now took the lead in the final against world number 2 Fabiano Caruana. Amazing performance by the 20 year old in the Freestyle chess grand slam!

Segnalo per gli amanti degli #scacchi, che è in corso il molto "chiacchierato" grand slam tour nella variante #scacchi960 (alias #FischerRandom)

Per chi non lo sapesse #chess960 è una variante (IMHO stupenda), dove si azzerano tutti i secoli di teoria nelle aperture e di fatto si vede chi sa veramente giocare meglio a scacchi, banalmente estraendo a sorte la posizione dei pezzi dietro ai pedoni, tra 960 diverse posizioni

In response to the screenshot complaining that the openings have been analyzed to death:

Yeah, that's why #chess960 was invented.

Kiss goodbye to your opening books, my friend! MUAHAHAHaHaHahahaha ...

Game 1 of the final ended in a draw in the G.O.A.T. challenge between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. Who will win tomorrow? Follow it live:

I think this is because #chess960 is doubly exciting live, but afterwards it is hard for a #chess player to relate to the games when they have no opening relevance as an artifact, despite them being so fascinating as they unfold. Fairly sure this is why many don't see the point of the variant. But this will change when #FischerRandom becomes normal...

Quite depressing when the big boys manage to make #chess960 #FischerRandom 'freestyle' look as stodgy as good old #classical #chess. At least there's always a new position next time...

I really enjoy watching #FischerRandom #chess960 live, and _especially_ seeing top players full of the enthusiasm and glee of discovery from the first moves that #chess lost long ago. But I have very little desire to play through most of the games afterwards...

Per gli amanti degli #scacchi segnalo che si può seguire ora online il torneo con i più forti giocatori al mondo su #Lichess

Si tratta del GOAT challenge 960 che usa gli #chess960 come standard di posizione iniziale per annullare la conoscenza delle aperture. Vince veramente il più forte, se non conoscete questa modalità di gioco, consiglio di approfondire, è veramente interessante

Presenti tra gli altri #MagnusCarlsen #FabianoCaruana #AlirezaFirouzja #DingLiren

Probably too quiet here for a sample size, but with the 'freestyle' #chess starting soon, which is your preference: #FRChess, #FischerRandom, #chess960, or the Roman numerals of St. Louis? I personally push for #chess959 ...

#chess #siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics #chess960 #tcec Well that seems rather cheating for a Chess 960 tournament (position 518!)

I'm reluctantly starting to agree that regular chess might not be as timeless as I once thought, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P349BdHUxlc
