What chess variant does Gukesh D enjoy playing?

  • Bughouse

  • 3-check chess

  • Chess960

  • Atomic chess

Answer

Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a chess variant that Gukesh D enjoys playing. In Chess960, the starting position of the pieces on the back rank is randomized, except for the king, which must be placed on one of the two central squares. This randomization eliminates the advantage of memorizing opening lines and forces players to rely on their tactical and strategic skills.
