Here is a game in progress with a dear friend of mine where we have reached a visually interesting position. It would be even more beautiful if I had not vainly moved my queen. https://www.chess.com/game/daily/344384791 This reminds me a lot of the bell curve I just redrew for electronic peer-to-peer cash, see https://noise.cash/post/197z0zw9 As far as chess is concerned, this is probably more possible in a fine game of Chess 960, as we play it there, in which the initial setup is the same for both players, but there are 960 possible starting combinations. This increases the value of creativity in the game, as it is played without the usual opening phases. It results in completely different such phases and, in my opinion, greatly increases the variety in the course of the game. As a casual player, I like that a lot! The idea of chess 960 is due to the chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer, who also has, above his inventions for today's chess, a quite unusual biography that is well worth reading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer Follow my Chess post trail via https://noise.cash/post/167pxv4w #Chess
