Chess960 or Fischer Random Chess was invented by Bobby Fischer, the 11th, and perhaps most legendary World Chess Champion. Fischer first presented his vision for the future of chess in Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 19, 1996. Chess960 may be the most important legacy he left for his fans and chess devotees around world. It is a refined version of so-called Randomized Chess or Shuffle Chess variations. With this alternative way of playing chess, Bobby Fischer returned creativity and talent back to the center stage.How Chess960 works?Chess960 accomplishes this by eliminating any advantage a player may have from studying chess openings. By shuffling the pieces on the back row, according to certain rules, and mirroring the position on the other side of the board, a total of 960 different starting positions can be created. Knowledge of classical opening theory is no longer an advantage in Chess960 and players have to be creative from the very first move.Not a replacement for Classical chessChess960 was not invented to replace Classical Chess but instead exists alongside the traditional form of playing chess with the conventional starting position. Playing Chess960 improves player’s chess skills and their general knowledge about the game.Recognized by FIDEChess960 is recognized by the World Chess Federation FIDE as the only other form of chess next to Classical Chess and official rules for playing Chess960 were formulated by FIDE. Each year official Chess960 World Championships are organized. Chess960 is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by any one.Basic Rules Chess960At the start of every Chess960 game, all white pawns are placed on the second row and all black pawns on the seventh row exactly as in a game of Classical Chess. The white chess pieces are placed on the first row and the black pieces on the eighth row in a mirror image of the white pieces, again just like in Classical Chess. The only difference with Classical Chess is that the position of the pieces on the first and eight rows is not in the traditional order but in a randomly determined order. When placing the pieces on the 1st and 8th row the following rules must always be followed:Each player has one white squared bishop and one black squared bishop.The king must always be placed between rooks to allow castling.These restrictions result in a total of 960 possible different starting positions. This includes the standard Classical Chess starting position and 959 other starting positions. The actual rules to play Chess960 are the same as for standard Classical Chess. The only exception is the castling move as is explained below.White and Black have identical and symmetrical starting positions. From their side of the board the player’s pieces are facing

Note: rough draft, diagrams and highlights coming soonThe Chess Cafe is pleased to present the first contribution by AmericanMaster Dan Heisman. He is the author of two chess books, "Elements ofPositional Evaluation" and "The Improving Annotator"; a third book isscheduled for November publication. He currently works as a full-timechess instructor.The Secrets to "Real" Chess by Dan HeismanRecently a student of mine, rated 1100 (a good high school player),played a tournament in which his playing strength was 1900 (!) forsix rounds. He beat four players higher rated than anyone he hadever beaten before.As a chess full-time instructor, I was very intrigued as to what hadcaused this sudden great jump in playing strength. Could it beattributed to random chance or just "having a good tournament"? Igave this question considerable thought, weighing the possiblereasons against many of the theories I had been teaching mystudents. I finally rejected the "good tournament" idea, even thoughI am sure that had a part in it. Instead, I created a two-partexplanation that should be of interest to players rated under 1800who wish to improve their game!Three Levels of Thinking The first part requires a description ofthree levels of thinking chessplayers use to decide a chess move.The ascendancy through these levels reflect the maturing of a chessplayer due to both age and experience."FLIP-COIN" Chess - A move is played quickly and withoutserious thought.
