Chess 960 Tuesday Night, Sept 27th, 7PM

This Tuesday, September 27th, we are having another Chess960 tournament. If you haven't heard of Chess 960 / Fischer Random, it's a great variant, and a good way to build up tactical strength. Many of the top players like to play Chess960.


The event begins at 7, with registration starting at 6:15. Entry is $5 for members, $10 for non-members, with 60% of entry fees going to prizes. Format is round robin, pending turnout. No USCF membership required!

WGM Kosteniuk plays Chess960 (and is the Chess960 woman's world champion) -- why don't you?

GM Aronian also plays chess960:

A small correction: GM Nakamura is the Chess960 World Champion. Kosteniuk, who is also a GM (not a WGM), is the Chess960 Women's World Champion. Since the annual Mainz tournament, where the titles were granted, is no longer held, they are likely to remain titleholders for some time.
