You may have heard of this chess variant invented by bobby fischer called Fischer Random. Fischer Random is a positively unique chess variant, the whole idea behind Fischer Random is to give the players more oppertunity to show their chess stratigey rather than theory. Here is a qoute from Bobby fischer,
“I don’t play chess anymore, I play Fischer Random. It is a much better game, more challenge. Chess is a dead game, it is played out. Fischer Random is a version of chess that I developed or invented, you could say, where you shuffle the back row of the pieces, not the pawns. Each side has an identical shuffle, so that everything is symmetrical, just like in the old chess. There are just a couple of rules: one rook has to be to the left of the king, one has to be to the right of the king, one bishop has to be on a light-colored square, and one on a dark-colored square. That’s basically it. You can learn the rules in two minutes. It’s a great game, and can become the standard of chess.” If you are interested, here are the
Fischer Random Rules . The main goal for Fischer Random is to give the players every oppertunity to be creative rather than having memorized thousands of chess opening moves to fall back on, Fischer random completly anhilates all opening theory for the classic game of chess. Fischer Random is not nearly as populerized as classic chess and just as fun, the producers of this fairly new game are getting the word out about it and it is rumored that this game could be a huge hit.
