Answer
Chess960, also called Fischer Random Chess, is a chess variant invented by Bobby Fischer in which the starting positions of the pieces on the back rank are randomized. This creates a level playing field for both players as they cannot rely on memorized openings. Levon Aronian, an Armenian grandmaster, is a notable champion of this chess format, having won the Chess960 World Championship in 2009 and 2010.
