That man was on to something I think GOATs only truly understand

[@kaischreurs2488]

I mean only untill it becomes too bit at which point people will start memorizing openings for the different possible setups, though that will still be less moves into a position than currently.

[@okty8372]

I agree but at the same time theory is intresting

[@travelmoneychess]

Yep, the game actually starts on move 1, not move 40

[@harry3004]

Yeah. I used to think that you just understand openings once and then that's it, but then I learned from watching Levy's GM preparation that they're literally preparing lines from their opponents games databases like 12-20 moves into the game and memorising that stuff. Which is kinda cool, but also sounds like a snooze fest. Because the thing that I love about chess is finding the tactics on your own and trying to win on your own after just a decent opening to get a good position.

Bishop : different color > 4×4 = 16 Rook king rook > 6C3 = 20 Queen > 3 16 × 20 × 3 = 960

[@ananthakrishnank3208]

This makes a lot of sense. I was wondering yesterday as to why it was 960. Makes sense. Out of 8 starting squares, white bishop can occupy any of the four white squares. And, so the case with the black bishop. Already 4*4= 16 possibilities. Now two bishops are sorted out. Six squares are remaining. 6C3 combinations and so on..

[@WumpusAlpaca]

But it is called 960 because there are 960 possible starting chess positions in the game mode.

That castling move at 9:01 was weird. In normal chess, the King moves two squares towards the ROOOOK, and then the Rook is placed on the other side of the King. Here, the Rook moves two squares towards the King, and then the King is placed on the other side of the rook. However, in the first game the King and Rook just swap places. I'd like to see in the rules how castling is described because it looks like the players are making this stuff up.

[@mersadjafarian4258]

I love standard chess, but when I played my first game in Chess 960 I realized what Bobby Fischer was trying to say about this variation. I hope no one cares about the theory of Chess 960. It's so much fun without any theory, because you know you're not going to lose to someone who can memorize 30 movies and you can only memorize, I don't know... 25, maybe?! Chess 960 is about tactics, strategy and a looooot of creativity, and I love to explore my creativity!!!! ^^

This is great. As a casual fan who recently got into chess I just learned about Fischer random and immediately thought that's the absolute best chess format because there's no memorization so it's actually about skill playing the game. I hope Magnus propels Fischer Random to the new standard of competitive play.

[@isuckatnames6033]

The advantage gained from a high seed is that you play proportionally lower seeds first. In round 1 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th etc. That way the projected finalists won't knock each other out early since they're situated on opposite sides of the bracket.

I usually don't mind klickbait titles on this channel, but no, MC did NOT invent Chess960 by any means. "Shuffle Chess" already existed, Bobby Fischer then invented the limits with B on different colors, K between Rs, and castling to the normal end positions, that made it play enough like regular chess to work as a serious game mode.

[@Aleksandar-h2p]

Magnus is so scared and don't want to play with Hikaru, Nepo, and So in this type of chess, out of theory. Chess 960 is all about creativity without prep and theory, and fuckin' computer. Hikaru is current world fischer random champion ( not here ) , Wesley So was a champion before him ( not here ) and Nepo beat Magnus in the semi-finals on the last world fischer random championship organised by Fide ( not here ) Hikaru said Magnus had a deal with the sponsors and he decided with whom he will play with and he skip NEPO, SO AND HIKARU CAUSE HE IS AFRAID OF THEM WHEN HE IS OUT OF THEORY cause he is the best in memorisazation, like computer, but the most creative players are Hikaru and Nepo for example , and Nepo beat Magnus under 8 World chess championship when they were kids cause Nepo is so creative , more creative than Magnus. Nepo was under 8 World champion and Magnus was second! Where is the clip about that Levy? Please explain that . Nepo had a greater potential , but the problem is memorization Magnus is better in that, not in chess. Fischer random type of chess is a proof for my words. The best chess player ever is definitely not Magnus, Tal and Fischer are far more better and so creative. Creativity is the greatest gift of God not memorization. Magnus is best in chess memorization. He can learn every pattern in chess and win a lot, but Fischer random you can't solve . This is the real creative chess. Fischer was right for the computers. They will destroy the game.
