Starting position?

Forgive me, but I have not been on chess.com in about 12 days and would like to know what the new Starting position feature is about, when you are creating a game.

I've never used it but I'd assume that they set up the board to how it would look after the choosen opening.

That doesn't sound fair. If you played the game out, you might not be able to get to thet particular opening.

 


neneko
why wouldn't it be fair? If the other player don't agree he doesn't have to join the game.
HurricaneIsaac

That's true.

I might have to try it sometime.

starting position allows people to agree on a set of opening moves and start from there! it is for those who like to play themed games.

Sounds cool. I'll have to

try it.

it's for people who want to play a particular opening, but are too lazy to play the first few moves
