Chess960 Generator

Andreas Pyka

About this game

This application serves to generate one of the possible 960 starting positions of the chess variant Chess960 (Fischer-Random-Chess).
The rules are exactly the same as in standard chess. Because of a different starting position castling works a little bit different.

Ratings and reviews

great app. a few tips: regular chess is # 518. this app is only to show you starting positions. it is *not* an app to play the game. it is only like the name shows: a generator for chess960 starting positions. tap the left side of the screen to decrease the starting position number, or the right side to increase it. the slider can easily get you in the right approximate range when you are looking for a specific one. the random option is super too! that's what this app does. very simple!

Works exactly as expected. For all the 1-star reviews complaining that you can't move the pieces, this is a chess960 starting position GENERATOR. When playing chess960 on a real board, it can be bothersome to try to randomize the starting position. This app is meant to do that for you; you are not meant to play on the app

There should be an option to directly enter the position which the user wants. Sliding the bar to get the position is a bit difficult. Like for example I want position 005. There is no way to enter 005. And sliding it is difficult, like I get 004 or 007
