01 / The idea
Forget opening
theory.
Also called Fischer Random, Chess960 keeps every rule of standard chess but scrambles the starting squares of the back-rank pieces. There are exactly 960 legal arrangements, so there’s almost no theory to memorize — you’re playing real chess from the very first move.
