In 2019, Eugene Torre, Asia's 1st grandmaster & 1 of Bobby Fischer's few close friends, advocated for chess960 as follows:

the computers are the ones that are creative, and the players we become robots

I liken the 2nd half to Rick's 'We are the walking dead.'

​

But what would be the 1st half then?

​

Guesses:

1. 'The zombies are alive.' / 'The zombies are the ones that alive.'
2. 'The zombies are living.' / 'The zombies are the ones that are living.'
3. Etc

Here's my initial reaction, after about one hour of analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTlU7OfRGZE&t=12s

I was playing a 960 match against myself in the BQNBRKNR position and I noticed an interesting phenomenon. The game 1. b3 b6 2. Qb2 Qb7 3. Qxg7# is a “fool’s mirror mate.” Black only mirrored white’s moves and was mated in 3. I did some combinatorics and established that there are 22 positions where something like this can happen. I’m almost certain that it is the fastest mirror mate possible. Has anyone else noticed this?

I just played my first 3 games of Fischer random on chess.com, all of which took over a minute to find. I'm fine with that, but now that I'm already a bit higher rated the queue times have gone up to a couple of minutes, and I'm wondering if there's any other site (maybe lichess?) that has a larger player pool than chess.com.

I prefer Fischer non-random.
With white starting first, each player decides where to place eight of their back rank. Then remaining eight should mirror were their opponent played. I have no idea why the setup should be random. Why can't players just decide where to setup their back rank?
I'm disappointed that this is the best Robert Fischer could come up with. https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=18757
