I agree. It is a big challenge, and the competition is often tougher! Also, in maybe 1 game in 2-3 games I make an error in the opening, and too often between moves 6-8... it's so intense!

Hey, under #2 (watch out for dangerous pawn moves!), Black should play 3...Nf6, attacking that rook and so gaining in development and tempo!

Well, it's just a demostration to show that why that was a huge blunder.

With #5, those are two nice quick checkmates. Checkmates may not be easy to make, but I'll tell you what, I've won a queen for a minor piece in more than one opening I played. So one needs to do a lot of calculating right off at the start of the opening!

Actually #4(no.2)was based on one of my real games, my opponent played Nf6 like you said, but I still came up with Bf4+, and he didn't see e5, and played Qd6 instead

I looked at a game by Nakamura,beating Aronian in 2009.
I don't play like that!!
I realise that 40 years of playing ordinary chess have skewed my judgement of how to develop pieces in chess960.
btw I'm in the top 4% of chess.com players at 'both' games--but that just makes it more galling...I'm missing SO MUCH!
Do you still have that game or know where to link to it? Nakamura's genius really shines in 960 because players can't easily avoid his talent.
it's on chessbase.com as I remember.
/chess960 probably.
Afriend printed it off for me when I was still a bit unsure of the game's merits.(I'm convinced now!)
nice games

When 960 becomes the norm and standard Chess is shelved, kids will be falling for these traps again!
Have you ever lost a Chess960 because of your openings? Have you ever fell for a Chess960 opening trap? If so, this is for you.
