I googled Chess960 and you just made my day. The one thing I never liked about chess was the opening memorization; what an elegant solution.

its imperfect. people will still memorize the lot, and memorizing chess openings and tactical patterns will still apply frequently

I always play against my phone; I guess it now has the advantage of having yet another 959 sets of openings stored away that a casual player like me will never memorize.

Still, it seems like a step in the right direction.
