    [Game log #101]

    Here's the game between Okisato and Bao from Chapter 160. It's the first Chess 960 game to grace the series. Hard to believe it's taken about 100 games to get one, but here it is.

    For those who don't know, Chess 960 or Fischer random chess, is a famous chess variant invented by 11th world chess champion and American grandmaster, Bobby Fischer. In it, the starting position of all the pieces, except for pawns, are randomized. The two opposing armies will always mirror each other though and the two bishops will always be on opposite colors. Each side also has the ability to castle as well. As for why it's called "Chess 960", the reason for that is because there are 960 different possible starting positions. Chess 960 is also one of the few variants to be officially recognized by FIDE and have specific tournaments for it.
