Random Resources

A new video from Chess.com's IM Daniel Rensch explains the basics:-

• Learn To Play Chess960 (Fischer Random)

Chess.com has also released a short puzzle test:-

• Learn to Play Fischer Random - Chess Lessons

That's a great idea, but it could be split into at least two puzzle series: 1) Do you know the castling rules?, and 2) Tactical devices that never arise from the traditional start position. Both of those ideas are easily expanded. Also worth a look is:-

• Chess960 Dice (indiegogo.com; 'Chess based on talent not memory!')

HarryO of Chess960 Jungle, points out:-

• Arena Kings - Fischer Random (aka Chess 960) Friday (youtube.com; GMHikaru)

Harry says, 'You announce "The NO LOOK 1.e4!" with your hands raised in the air'. One of the comments points to another sequence in the video where GM Nakamura plays 'The NO LOOK 1.c4!':-

I can't tell if 'Thank you, Bobby Fischer!' is sincere or sarcastic.
