In chess960, symmetrical play often has to be calculated not because it gives white an advantage, but because players that want to play for a win have to calculate how drawish a symmetrical line is. <br /><br />So those issues don't exist in asymmetric chess. If we could find a scientific way to prune out the few really unfair starts, I would love to play asymmetric chess even more!HarryOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971894954907592580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261331525837592732.post-47032487291979584152014-05-15T12:41:00.900-07:002014-05-15T12:41:00.900-07:00I've been playing Chess 960 and I also find As...I've been playing Chess 960 and I also find Asymmetric Chess 960, which I like to call Chess 960 Squared, to be superior. It's so refreshing to have the board not be symmetric.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295619127473934493noreply@blogger.com
