Magnus Carlsen scores a perfect 9/9 at the Grenke Freestyle chess open. An amazing achievement akin to Bobby Fisher scoring 11/11 in the 1963/64 US Chess Championship:

Les Open ont toujours été les tournois d'échecs les plus intéressants, de loin. Mais en #freestyle / #chess960 / #fisherrandom, on débarque dans la dinguerie totale. Waouh. #chess #echecs #grenke

Questo il primo match tra #Carlsen e #Nakamura in #FreeStyleChess (variante #chess960) vinto dal primo
Ma non posto questo per la partita in sé, visto si giocherà domani il secondo match
Lo posto perché trovo semplicemente IMPRESSIONANTE e bellissimo vedere che colui che ha PERSO (che cmq è un MOSTRO a scacchi) si metta immediatamente online ad analizzare la sua partita, spiegando i suoi errori con onestà e sincerità
Lo farà per clic, ok, ma cmq IMHO non è da tutti

Was ich schon immer über Zufallsschach aka #Chess960 wissen wollte, aber nicht zu fragen wagte ... Arno Nickel nimmt sich dankenswerterweise des Themas an. de.chessbase.com/post/erforsc... #Freestyle #Schach #Chess

Finally created my just for fun #chess account. At #lichess. I like its easy to use surface in the app and at the webpage and its large user base. And it's profit free.
Hoping lichess will make better accessible #Chess960 and so create more #FreestyleChess users. And hoping for full functionality in the app (eg messaging, making friends, user profile).
Still lichess is the best chess play service I could find 👍

What is the best online #chess play site for amateurs?
- free play, maybe tournaments
- many amateur players
- many time modes (e.g. 1, 3, 5 minutes)
- also offering #FreestyleChess / #Chess960
- game analyis
- gentle atmosphere
- easy to use web surface and app
Thanks 🙂
After defeating the world numer 1 Magnus Carlsen in the semifinals, Vincent Keymer now took the lead in the final against world number 2 Fabiano Caruana. Amazing performance by the 20 year old in the Freestyle chess grand slam!

Segnalo per gli amanti degli #scacchi, che è in corso il molto "chiacchierato" grand slam tour nella variante #scacchi960 (alias #FischerRandom)
Per chi non lo sapesse #chess960 è una variante (IMHO stupenda), dove si azzerano tutti i secoli di teoria nelle aperture e di fatto si vede chi sa veramente giocare meglio a scacchi, banalmente estraendo a sorte la posizione dei pezzi dietro ai pedoni, tra 960 diverse posizioni
For those of you that can't wait for the World Chess Championship to start, there's a #Chess960 match on 21 and 22 November at 12 GMT between #MagnusCarlsen and #FabianoCaruana. A rematch of the 2018 World #Chess #Championship.
@sigmasternchen@comfy.social @aronia@tech.lgbt Personally I'm a fan of Arimaa-style opening: On the first move, the first player arranges all their pieces however they want in the first two rows, then the second player arranges their pieces however they want.
The advantages are:
a)No luck,
b)There are too many openings for opening theory to be practical,
c)The second player gets the advantage of arranging their pieces in response to the first player, which helps balance out the first-move advantage.
I could also see limiting each player to choosing from among the FRC/Chess960 positions to make it "feel more like chess."
#Arimaa #Chess960
In response to the screenshot complaining that the openings have been analyzed to death:
Yeah, that's why #chess960 was invented.
Kiss goodbye to your opening books, my friend! MUAHAHAHaHaHahahaha ...
