A free course that takes you from the rules to confident Chess960 play.

Interactive lessons from zero: the rules of the game, how castling works in Chess960 (the king and rook always land on the classical squares, wherever they start), and opening principles for unfamiliar setups. Every step is played out on a live board, not just read.

Chapters build on each other, and the castling trainer generates fresh positions until the 960-castling motion feels natural. The whole learning track also works offline in the app.
