Chess960 — 960 Unique Starting Positions
Coming Soon☀️ Launching this month — get notified at launch!

Chess. Reinvented.
Randomized.

Play Chess960 — where every game starts from a unique position. No memorized openings. No unfair advantages. Pure skill from move one.

✦ No streak nagging. No spam.

Build a streak if you enjoy it — but we'll never send "you lost your streak" guilt-trip emails or push notifications. Play because you want to, not because an app pressured you to.

What is Chess960?

Invented by World Champion Bobby Fischer, Chess960 (also called Fischer Random Chess) shuffles the back rank pieces into one of 960 possible starting positions.

The rules are identical to classical chess — but because the starting position is random, opening theory becomes irrelevant. You can't memorize your way to victory.

The result is a purer, more creative game where your chess understanding and tactical skill decide who wins — not who studied more opening lines.
