It's gonna be fun to see how players will perform now. Coz now it's pure thinking and not just some theory to remember for the opening. Opening is gonna be crazy now😊

[@Tx66]

I hate this dismissive attitude towards opening memorization. How is it so different to pattern memorization, which is really the soul of the game? Do you think it’s easy to memorize all these lines? You make it seem as if there’s no skill to it or that it’s somehow separate from the game of chess. It’s not.

[@JDBoyJD]

@@Tx66 I'm not against opening theory. I just said/mentioned that now it's gonna be fun to see players how they will perform without opening theory. And also, as you said about "Do I think it is easy to memorize so many lines?", the answer is absolutely YES. These are grandmasters who have started playing chess when they were 3 or 4 years. No one can memorize better than they do. Definitely they may forget some positions at times, but OPENING THEORY IS A THING. Because they know all the variations that can arise from a particular 8 or 10 or 15 moves. They don't really need to focus about the position, they just need to recall the theory they just prepared. And that's what all the grandmasters do in their game. It's just opening preparation for every game they play. You can hear about it in almost every after game interview they give. They always say things like, "yeah, I prepared this line", " yeah, I forgot that I had to X move in that position, but I forgot", "I forgot about the move order" These grandmasters can play blindfolded chess that too with for more than 10 boards at a single time. They can do this because they have STRONG MEMORIZATION SKILLS, which they can do because they started playing at such an early age. Kids, when they are trained to a particular thing, they can do it great. In this cases, they are trained to memorize the theory and positions. Obviously that doesn't means they just memorize and can't play without opening theory, it's just that now it's gonna be fun to see them perform in the opening. And that's what I mentioned earlier.

[@panda4247]

the castling mechanism is the stupidest rule in 960, I am telling that for a long time. It is the only move in chess that is defined by the result (the resulting position of the pieces will be this) instead of the process (the pieces will move in this manner). Let's take normal castling - the king moves 2 squares towards the rook (both in O-O and O-O-O), then the rook moves one square over the king. I would make the castling in 960 such that: the king moves half the distance (round up) towards the rook, then the rook moves one square over the king. This would look more natural: - it would result in normal castling, if the king and rooks would start on their usual squares (distance is 3 and 4, so it would move 2 squares in both cases) - when they are the same distance as in normal castling, just shifted, the resulting position would be also shifted the same way (K on a3 and R on a6 would result in K on a5 and R on a4 - when K and R are next to each other, they would simply swap places (distance 1, half of it rounded up is 1) - when the K and R are far away, they would come to the middle (R on a1, K on a7 would result in Ka4,Ra5), it looks perfectly natural, they come closer together. no funny stuff like now when they sometimes go to the other side of the board... Edit: also, it would result in more different positions... sometimes the 960 transposes to "normal-looking position" too early PS: the thumbnail looks like there is Gilderoy Lockhart next to Magnus
