Chess

Nor did I and yes I should.  There is no checkmate apparently, just king capture and otherwise illegal moves seem to be allowed.

Its only just been introduced on Chess.com but was invented a few years ago.

I had never heard of it. 

Someone up here plays Omega Chess, which is a 100 square variant with additional pieces.  I am going to play it soon which will be interesting.

Have you heard of 5 Dimensional Chess With Multiverse Time Travel?

I have only played 960 when challenged or requested to join a match.  I do not mind it - it avoids all opening theory and in some ways that is a good thing.  However, I enjoy openings and generally far prefer the standard game.

Anyway, are you going to publish the stats?

    Never played 960. Can't say I'm tempted. I don't have a grand-master, or even close, understanding of opening theory but I am with ngb on this one.
    David, has your ratio of winning against ngb improved over time/got worse/remained the same?

I think David should give the stats for regular games where I did not give him the benefit of a material handicap!

[David1819]

No, have you just invented it!

No. It has good reviews on Steam. I might buy it.

   I reckon I could hazard a fairly accurate guess

Regular Chess (no handicap):  21 losses 0 wins.

960 Chess: 61 losses 1 draw  17 wins.

I don't believe that Roch, Chess is a great game far more variations than atoms in the universe.

NGB do you fancy another game of Duck chess?
