Here are two challenges for a future post: 1) Locate the PGN for both events, and 2) Locate a PGN viewer that understands chess960.
Not long after writing the post, I received an anonymous comment pointing to a number of resources on Lichess; see that post for details. I also discovered that the PGN for the two events is available from TWIC:-
- 2022-07-22: 55th Biel Chess Festival 2022 (theweekinchess.com)
- 2022-09-14: Champions Showdown 9LX 2022 (ditto)
- 2022-10-25: FIDE World Fischer Random Chess Championship 2022 (ditto)
I added the first of the three links to the list because I found it using a search on 'chess960'. The other two links appeared on searches for '9LX' and 'random' (i.e. FRC).
The Lichess comment described a method for embedding games from Lichess. Here's a game from the 2022 FWFRCC.
After I post this, I'll check if the Lichess functionality has survived the Blogger/Blogspot environment.

Later: Re 'I'll check if the Lichess functionality has survived the Blogger/Blogspot environment', the functionality to scroll through the game is there, but the moves have disappeared and there is a useless scrollbar on the right. The embed provided by Lichess had dimensions 600x371. Since I use width=400 for images, I resized to 400x248 to get the results shown above.
Resizing to 400x300 eliminates the scrollbar, but doesn't make the moves appear. I tried width=420, which is close to the maximum for my blog template, but the moves still don't appear. The following uses 400x300, which is the best I can do for now. Note the three vertical dots between the left and right arrows. They open a menu for additional functions including viewing the game on Lichess.
