There was an article on Wired News about Chess960. The modification to traditional chess is that the back row is randomized, subject to certain rules. Apparently the game was invented by Bobby Fischer, which he calls "Fischer Random Chess".
I had no idea that Bobby Fischer was such a nut. It seems he likes to shoot off at the mouth about various subjects, not the least of which is his anti-Semitic views and wild theories, and about how evil the U.S. is. (Let me clue you, Bobby boy, plenty of other countries are worse, namely China and North Korea. You wouldn't get a trial in those countries, you'd just quietly disappear, never to be seen again...the U.S. let you off easy.) Here's a bit about Fischer's "Yoko Ono", and the Wikipedia entry for Fischer.
