960

I wish 960 had never been born!!!!!

why you say this, I don't like it too, but it's a fun way of chess sometimes and other like it

I hate it, and there it is, everywhere I look all the time.  Those people playing 960 would be playing CHESS if it weren't for 960.

You are a cancer on the liver of chess, Lady Grey.

why you want them to play real chess???

and why bother? it's like saying to someone who likes pepsi that coke is better and pepsi didn't have to exist.

And u r a wart on the butt of the world.

there is no need to insult

Sorry, that was meant for Afaf, not u Chry, and only because he started with the insults.

Your wish has been granted. 960 is not alive, and therefore has never been born.

Stop all your fussin'

Think your logic is a bit skewed. There are plenty people who aren't alive who've been born. They're dead.

And chess 960 is tedious in the extreme. As is arguing about it on forums, or correcting casual forum posts.

If shower had never been invented, those people would be playing CHESS instead of spending their time taking showers. What a shame.

 Chess clubs in Montenegro must be different than the ones in America.

Haven't been to one in years ! But I think you are probably right that the damage has been limited.

My gosh people! Lady Grey is one of the funnest, funniest, most enjoyable people I play chess with here. What do ya'll think blogs are for. And use yer manners fer crying out loud!  So what, some people don't like 960. I personally LOVE it! It is making me a much better player in the long run. But you would NEVER hear me saying harsh, unkind, and certainly untrue, things like some of you. Ya'll should apologize.

Oh great what have I done!?! Now I am the bad guy! right!

Oh well, I would gladly take the heat of Lady!

And people say chivalry is dead!  Thank u , Mark, ur a sweetheart.  But, really, don't worry about me.  Everyone is entitled to their opinon, as I am to mine and I know these people well enough not to even post if I can't stand some 'mean'.

I personally prefer BugHouse, but 960 is pretty decent in my book from time to time.

What is BugHouse?

 Team chess with drops. Two teams of two people, with two chess games playing simultaneously. One person on each team plays white, the other plays black. When a person playing white captures a black piece, they can hand it to their partner (who is playing black), and the partner can put the piece on any empty square on the board in place of making a normal move. Obviously, a black player capturing a white piece can hand it off in the same fashion. First team to win on either board wins. Usually played with short time controls.

I play both chess and 960. I learn to be more carefull with playing 960 because It change our point of view.
