Jumping on the Chess960 Bandwagon
Friday, September 14, 2018 at 11:53AM
With the fun afoot in St. Louis I decided to play a few blitz Chess960 games, and so far it has been an enjoyable challenge. Figuring out how to create harmony is part of the fun, and staying alert to tactical possibilities (whether one's own or one's opponents) in unfamiliar situations is another worthy challenge. And of course, there's the usual fun of "regular" chess as the 960ness of the game fades into the background.
Here is the conclusion of one of my recent experiments that finished with a nice attack. It's a quirk of Chess960 that the bishop remained stuck on h8 for the duration of the game, but the attack was correct - what can you do?
