It is significant news for chess960 (a.k.a. Fischer Random Chess) when a
major new chess book is published that is largely devoted to chess960.

I therefore would like to encourage the editors to add mention of this
new
chess960 book to this web page.

The book info is:

Play Stronger Chess by Examining Chess960:
Usable Strategies of Fischer Random Chess Discovered
   by
Gene Milener

ISBN  0-9774521-0-7
Page count 252

More information, including an extended excerpt, is available at
http://CastleLong.com/.

Available at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, BarnesAndNoble.com, and
elsewhere.

This chess book is about both chess960 and chess1, because it compares
and
contrasts them.  This teaches us things about both rule sets that are
harder to see when studying either in isolation.

Thank you.
