WORLD CHAMPS

Chess is a game which has been around for centuries in one form or another. It is considered to be both art and science. While it is a complex game, there are many who say the opening theory is reaching its zenith. One alternative is Fischer Random or 960chess. The rules of Fischer random allow for over 960 starting positions, 959 of which have yet to be explored in much detail. I think that one day in the far future this will replace regular chess as the preferred tournament style of chess.


Bobby Fischer was a profound player who, in my opinion, has yet to be fully fathomed with his deep ideas,strategies and tactics.
