Why are my chess960 games better?

Sort:

I'm older and new to chess, I've started playing again revisiting old videogames like Chessmaster 2000 and Battle Chess. I've started enjoying the game and began using Pychess and chess.com recently. 

I found out about chess960 and I've given it a go with my son and here against the computer. 

I'm bad, really bad at normal chess, but I find myself more comfortable with chess960. Why is that?


Lack of theoretical knowledge perhaps?
