GOOMBLE INSIDE 
what is freestyle chess?
it is a variant created by the legendary racist bobby fischer where the last rank is shuffled up, tossing the opening prep out of the window.
FIDE, the big boss of chess, thinks they're the only ones who can use "World Championship". Freestyle Chess Players Club wanted to call their tournament a "World Championship" too, but FIDE wasn't having it. They told players to sign a waiver to stay cool with FIDE events if they played in Freestyle.
Things got spicy with both sides throwing shade. FIDE's CEO, Emil Sutovsky, said Freestyle Chess was just protecting the elite players. Freestyle Chess hit back, saying FIDE was pressuring players and even called for the FIDE president to step down.
After all the drama, Freestyle Chess agreed to drop "World Championship" from their promo stuff for the next 10 months. This was a move to keep things chill for a bit.
they are planning tennis like tour and F1 like point system.
the first Grand Slam 2025 Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Weissenhaus is going on rn. semifinals would start from tomorrow. would you like to bet?
tourney drama
magnus initially performed mediocre during the round robin phase, leading to people declaring him washed. currently he's playing games at 98% accuracy while eating fruits (banana)
caruana is rumored to have studied all 960 opening maps and has put the current FIDE world champ Gukesh in his place through straight upperhand matchups
sindarov, the last minute entrant, runner up of the qualifier has been upsetting people left & right. he even chose the tough matchup hikaru (the legendary streamer) for the quarterfinal, shocking everyone. currently playing the tiebreaker
prince ali, the topper of the round robin. current playing vincent (the weakest pick) and is losing lmao. edit: bozo lost

There are exactly 960 starting positions you absolute !BIPOCs. 960 positions is 960 positions, not 1.2e16 moves. Where the frick do you even get that number? Regular chess (with one opening position) has 10e40 moves.

What are you, fricking stupid? Do you know what 'opening' means?
There would be absolutely no point in memorizing the starting 960 positions because that gives you no informational advantage.

Each opening has basic strategy and theory, dipshit. A good chess player is familiar with far more than a mere thousand positions. Keep yourself safe

You gibbering mongoloid, nobody memorizes quantified discrete positions. You learn the tactics of the opening

I like the idea in theory, but playing it isn't that fun. The positions you get are usually ugly and uninteresting. I've always thought that if you wanted to avoid opening prep autism, tournament games should be assigned random openings X moves deep that are roughly equal. Though that system is so easily exploited we would have a Russian world champion again in no time.

While I think that Chess960 does well enough in making rote memorization of opening moves more challenging for most people (and therefore rewarding intuition and grasp of fundamentals), correct play seems to be a lot narrower with a lot of setups, particularly with bishops in the corner. The OG setup just has a lot more viable openers.
The positional and attacking ideas feel exactly the same once you're in the middlegame.

A tour?
F1 has tours because track layouts and climates create unique events for fans and challenges for teams.
Last I checked, chessboards don't have different tyre options.

Race is your genetics, ethnicity is your ancestry. There certainly is an overlap, but they are not exactly the same thing.

dont your genes come from your ancestors?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Many things come from your ancestors, including your race. Basically, you inherit your genetic code from your ancestors, including your race. People whose genetic code can be tracked to a specific region are considered to be the same ethnic group, while people who share skin color are considered to be the same race.

Your white opening is "keep opponent's activity to a minimum and emphasize your first move advantage" and your black opening is "make position as chaotic as possible and lash out at your opponent's king, positional aspects be darned"
