Fischer Random Chess. Play from a random setup. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Greg: I intended to add a comment about Count Van Zuylen van Nijevelt's 200 year old variant to this page, but I had too many windows open and it ended up on Eric van Reem's introduction and history of FRC (link near the top of this page). You should check out van Reem's page anyway.
<p>Leo: For me, nothing beats the challenge of playing a six hour game of chess against a 2100 level opponent. But winning the CWDA PBM Tournament here three years ago came close! Giving history lessons to the people on this web site is very low on my list of priorities. Anyway, I will give it one more try. The Carrera/Bird/Capa line of variants goes back four centuries. 'Carrera Random Chess - all your variants in one game!' goes back to my September 2004 comment on the Carrera's Chess Page. Nowadays I call this variant by the more accurate name of 'Pairwise Drop Chess' - latest version of the rules to be added soon, as a Carrera's Chess Page comment.
