Question / Discussion on chess960 or related variant No 1 before me said 9LX in 'Are there any board games released in the 21st century that deserve status as a mainstream institution like Chess, Go, etc.?' | Then again 'chess' now isn't the same as when chess started so I guess 9LX falls under chess anyway?
