YEREVAN, AUGUST 18, ARMENPRESS: Armenian grand master Levon Aronian beat his Russian rival Pyoter Swidler in two rounds of the “Chess 960” World Championship conducted in German town of Mainz.
Chess 960 (originally called Fischer Random Chess) is a chess variant created by grandmaster Bobby Fischer (who was world chess champion from 1972 until 1975). It was originally announced on June 19, 1996, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Fischer’s goal was to create a chess variant in which chess creativity and talent would be more important than memorization and analysis of opening moves.
His approach was to create a randomized initial chess position, which would thus make memorizing chess opening move sequences far less helpful. The championship consists of 8 rounds, the next two ones will be conducted today.
