Removal of RFD Status
[edit source]I'm removing the RFD Status for this Wikibook, and I'm also changing the name and placing it as a sub-page to the more general Chess Wikibook under Variants. A more standardized format for discussing chess variants could be developed, but at least this gives this module some more life than simply getting deleted. See the VfD discussion for more details, and this shouldn't be renominiated except to kill the whole Chess Wikibook (very unlikely at all). --Rob Horning 00:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
name
[edit source]Why is this called "Random Opening" Chess? The starting position (which I assume is what "opening" refers to here) is not random in any way. It's chosen by the players, and they get to think and use strategy while they choose it. It's in no way "random". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.77.19 (discuss) 06:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Fischer Random Chess
[edit source]Fischer came up with the idea not so that humans can be computers, but because at the master level of play more and more moves are being memorized and whoever is winning in the beginning is contested by memory of openings, and at the master level slight advantages go a long way —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.252.251 (discuss) 22:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
