For anyone who does not know, Freestyle chess is the game mode where all the pieces on the back rank are randomized at the start of the game. There are a few rules (i.e. King must be between both rooks, etc.)
Is there any goal of implementing this mode in the future to ChessUp?
Forgive me, I may be incorrect but am just curious; donât you mean Chess960 and isnât it from Fischer?
Freestyle chess being pushed more from Magnus, but using Fischerâs rules? (Iâm still pretty new to chess)
Yes! Good catch. I am discussing âFreestyleâ Chess. I am going to edit the post just to add to the confusion 
It would be great if ChessUp supported this game mode!
I am really motivated right now to play Chess960! Chess.com also supports that option, is there a way to integrate it? One problem will definitely be that you need to set up the pieces after the match has started, as the position is random for every match. You would need some preview similar to the board editor, and you will end up loosing some time for sure.
Well one implementation could have a 30 second preview for the players to âread the board/place piecesâ. This way even if their not playing with a chessup board it still makes sense to have the additional time at the startup
Itâs the same game, whatever one calls is. Freestyle is just a name invented forâŚwell, we will call them âpolitical reasonsâ by a for profit company to try to turn a profit with investors.
Thatâs exactly how it is - Itâs Chess960.
Yes but this would imply a modification chesscom side which is out of control from bryghtlab guys (even if theyâre partner somehow it will be difficult to justify having this preview feature only for chessup)
I think itâs worth discussing this with Chess.com, since Bryghtlabâs boards are not the only ones on the market. This suggests that thereâs some interest, which could grow if the chess variant gains more attention in the future.
I wasnt suggesting only ChessUp boards to have preview. Rather, all players no matter their imput
Yes I understand but imagine youâre both online player, wouldnât it bother you that you both have to wait for the preview ?
I donât see any sense in a preview time. If you need more time, just play longer time controls.
The point is two fold:
I totally agree and think it is a wonderful idea.
There would be no other way to install Chess960 without some sort of preview.
@Jeff 
what do you think?
Chess960 is on the to-do list. *for OTB play.
For online play - we will need to think through how to handle. Might be that the setup time is unavoidable.
Thank you for such a quick response.
Funnily enough I found an article on ChessUpâs website that discuss the tournament rules for the 2021 Champions Showdown: Chess9LX. In this official tournament they allowed each player 10 minutes to review the board before play began. Obviously too long for online Rapid play. However, I do think that 1:30 to 2mins would be plenty for Rapid games on Chess.com.
Oh wow - yeah we used to have a blog and would cover chess events and news. I honestly forgot about the Chess960 article.
Chess960 has been on the to-do list for a while. This year we will finally have time to get to it (second half of the year).
That makes sense. The game mode is so peripheral in necessity/consumer desire for sure. Glad to its in the field of vision though!
