What is Freestyle Chess?
Freestyle Chess, also known as Chess960 or Fischer Random, shuffles the starting position of the pieces on the back rank. This eliminates rote memorization of openings and forces players to rely on creativity and calculation from move one.
Our analyzer helps you navigate these 960 unique starting positions. Whether you are confused by the castling rules or just want to find the best plan in an unfamiliar setup, our tools are here to help.
Perfect For
- Variant Lovers: Explore the chaos of randomized back ranks.
- Creative Players: Improve your pure calculation skills without theory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does castling work in Freestyle Chess?
The King and Rook end up on the same squares as in standard chess (g1/f1 or c1/d1). You simply move the King onto the Rook to castle.

Yes, we use Stockfish with UCI_Chess960 mode enabled, ensuring it understands the unique rules and positioning.
Can I load my own PGN?
Absolutely. Paste your PGN in the Load tab to analyze your own Freestyle games.
