Chess960 is a stupid variation of chess.....nothing beats the classic chess of game....frcha wrote:Albert Silver wrote:
in the position, the best five moves lead to a draw, however, 2 of the moves create a greater number of chances down the road for the opponent to lose, whereas the other three lead to fewer chances. Then there is one move which may lead to dangers of losing (which I will not fall for as I am perfect) but far more chances to lose for the opponent, and then there is the sixth move which is objectively losing, but leads to the greatest number of winning chances. This last move might be desirable if the opponent is very unlikely (with X%) to find the correct defense, much less the winning defensive sequence. A calculated gamble.
I play like this all the time ...and it happens a lot in online blitz ..There are many "odd opening lines" that are really bad at least according to computers, but humans have problems with them.
Even if chess is solved -- chess960 even if solved would be exciting for humans to play. -- and i suspect other variants would be too.
To play several games of every opening system/variation and feel the beauty out of it will take you more than a life time....
