I think there were some brand name issues. Whether with FIDE or Bobby Fischer's estate. Safer to come up with something new and avoid all of that

It’s a damn good question regarding the naming. I was wondering why they wouldn’t keep it as Fischer Random as well given it pays a bit of homage to one of the greats…even if he was kind of an insane piece of crap lol. And maybe it is about the estate. Chess960 sounds lame so I do like Freestyle Chess better.

Have you SEEN this?? Insane!!

It’s absolutely nuts. Even just blindfold chess has always been amazing to me but doing that with Freestyle is just beyond absurd.

I forget…do either of you play on chess.com? My new name is WrathofAchilles85 if you guys are ever on. I stopped streaming a long time ago as my behavior probably isn’t great if my employer ever saw it. And related to that my old account was banned for supposed poor sportsmanship.
