GMjtis<p>I think this is because <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chess960" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chess960</span></a> is doubly exciting live, but afterwards it is hard for a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/chess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chess</span></a> player to relate to the games when they have no opening relevance as an artifact, despite them being so fascinating as they unfold. Fairly sure this is why many don't see the point of the variant. But this will change when <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FischerRandom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FischerRandom</span></a> becomes normal...</p>
