Fischer Random Chess

Without any doubts it is fun, being a purely tactical affair from move one. I'm talking about Fischer Random Chess (also called Chess960), a variant of the game where piece placement is randomly determined before each game. It has been created by Bobby Fischer to eliminate opening preparation and quick draws (it's too comlicated to make a draw on move 20!!).
I think it's a good game but it cannot replace the entire game of chess, it cannot delete two century of history. Is the opening preaparation killing chess (only at supergm level of course)? Well, no problem; just play an UNCOMMON opening and demonstrate your superior strenght on UNCOMMON grounds. What do you think about this?

Nobis - You have now posted comments in three different places on my blog requesting that I link to you, when you already know that I have a link to your blog in my sidebar. This is very poor blog etiquette and therefore I am going to remove your comments.

If you wish to continue to have a link at BCC Weblog, please don't do this again. Thanks.

Not good enough. So you are saying, nowadays, in order to play the game of chess without preparing it before it starts, you have to play uncommon openings? The reason they are uncommon is because they are slightly strange, ie deviate from general opening principles, or have some dubious positional element attached to it. Chess960 allows you play your own style, from move 1. And it's chess. All your endings still apply, your opening principles still apply. You just don't have to buy a Garry Kasparov DVD on the Najdorf Sicilian (can't think of a better way to waste time actually!).
