ARTICLES RELATED TO Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods | | | |  Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Other ways to create initial positionsThere are several other methods that can create initial positions. Keep in mind that some of these, as noted, do not produce all legal arrangements of pieces with equal probability, and in that sense are less than random.
Fischer Random Chess - Coin-tossing method.
This method does not produce all legal starting positions with equal probability. The positions that arise when the King occupies the center two of the four possibilities are two thirds as likely as the others.
Edward Northam has developed the followin ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - History A variant of random chess defined by former World Champion Bobby Fischer and introduced formally to the chess public on June 19, 1996, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Bobby Fischer must have been shocked to see how opening theory had developed since his last game in 1972. It is said that friends from throughout the world sent him masses of analysis, which he ignored during the match against Spassky in 1992.
Fischer's goal was to eliminate what he considers the complete dominance of openings preparation in chess today, and to replace it wi ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Naming This particular chess variant has a number of different names. The first names applied to it include "Fischer Random Chess" and "Fischerandom Chess". However, this has become as unfashionable as Fischer himself. It is his invention, and he put his own name to it.
Hans-Walter Schmitt (chairman of the Frankfurt Chess Tigers e.V.) is an advocate of this chess variant, and he started a brainstorming process to choose a new name for it. The new name had to obey the following requirements on the parts of some leading grandmasters:

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Starting position The starting position for Fischer random chess must meet the following rules:
White pawns are placed on their orthodox home squares.
All remaining white pieces are placed on the first rank.
The white king is placed somewhere between the two white rooks.
The white bishops are placed on opposite-colored squares.
The black pieces are placed equal-and-opposite to the white pieces. For example, if the white king is placed on b1, then the black king is placed on b8.
Note that the king never starts ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Naming This particular chess variant has a number of different names. The first names applied to it include "Fischer Random Chess" and "Fischerandom Chess". However, as it became more popular many objected to this name. Some object to having the name of any person attached to the game; others object because they object to many of Mr. Fischer's actions over the years.

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Starting position IDs in Fischer Random Chess / Chess960 For years, Reinhard Scharnagl has championed the desirability of giving each of the Chess960 starting positions (SP) a unique indentification number (idn) in the range 0-959 or, perhaps, 1-960. He has presented his methods on the internet and in books. See the external references. As an application, a random number generator could make one probe into the range at hand for a random number, and produce a random SP. Late in 2005, the program Fritz9 became available. It has a Chess960 option, but, for some unexplained reason, it assigns idns to SPs in a different way. Rather than requir ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Rules Once the starting position is set up, the rules for play are the same as standard chess. In particular, pieces and pawns have their normal moves, and each player's objective is to checkmate the opponent's king.
Fischer Random Chess - Rules for castling.
Fischer random chess allows each player to castle once per game, moving both the king and a rook in a single move. However, a few interpretations of standard chess games rules are needed for castling, because the standard rules presume initial locations of the rook and king that a ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Playing Fischer Random Chess Examining openings for Fischer Random Chess is in its infancy, but opening fundamentals still apply. These include: protect the King, control the center squares (directly or indirectly), and develop your pieces rapidly starting with the less valuable pieces. Some starting positions have unprotected pawns that may need to be dealt with quickly.
Some have argued that two games should be played with each initial position, with players alternating as white and black, since some initial positions may turn out to give white a much bigger advantage than standard chess. However, there is no ...

| | | | Fischer Random Chess - Scharnagl's Methods: Encyclopedia II - Fischer Random Chess - Recording games and positions Since the initial position is usually not the orthodox chess initial position, recorded games must also record the initial position. Games recorded using the Portable Game Notation (PGN) can record the initial position using Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN), as the value of the "FEN" tag. Castling is marked as O-O or O-O-O, just as in standard chess. Note that not all chess programs can handle castling correctly in Fischer Random Chess games (except if the initial position is the standard chess initial position). To correctly record a Fischer ...
