Aman Hambleton joins the Chess 960 tournament on Chess.com.

Chess960 is a variant of chess invented by Bobby Fischer. It employs the same board and pieces as standard chess, but the starting position of the pieces on the players’ home ranks is randomized. The random setup renders the prospect of obtaining an advantage through the memorization of opening lines impracticable, compelling players to rely on their talent and creativity.
