Greetings seafsee,
Thanks for that information. Just to be certain that everyone understands the fundamental concept of Chess960@Home...
| Chess960@Home.org wrote: | | Chess960 is a young innovative chess variant. In Chess960, just before the start of every game, the initial configuration of the chess pieces is determined randomly, that means that the king, the queen, the rook, the bishop and the knight are not necessarily placed on the same home squares as in classical chess. |
Emphasis added for clarity.
Best regards,
RL
