Will the site's pgn reader handle a 960-chess castling properly? Surely not unless we use "[Variant:Fischerandom]", but even then, will it work?

1.e4 Nc6
2.f4 b6
3.Nf3 Bb7
4.d4 e6
5.c4 O-O
6.Nc3

From here you can restart on the pgn viewer.

Nope.



and then black tries 1...0-0



and then the site gives an error message to check the FEN even though it's the same as the working viewer above. 😛

Hey, wait a minute! Black was supposed to play ...f5 before castling. That guy played a few moves for white and black in a row! 😠

Well, since someone asked whether castling was possible (and it's the mainline) I figured that's what black wanted to play. Then I played Nc3.

Whatever. If you're just going to play with yourself, then I'm leaving the room. 😛

It isn't like I had to fight of a throng of eager chess players to make a move.

Chess960 SP534:



Note: Sorry about this castling issue on 5..0-0.
In Fischer Random Chess, There is no Castling I believe since
it's not a regular (Standard) Chess but a variant.
So therefore, unlike in a regular chess "Castling in Fischer Random, is not applicable".
I hope this solve the issue in "5..0-0 is not possible.

Edit: My bad, let me take it back on the Castling issue.
below is one site to check it out, to find out more. 🙂
