Thank you for buying this special
electronic chess clock that can
generate all the 960 starting
positions of the so called Fischer
random Chess. Fischer Random
Chess or Chess960 was
conceived and developed by the
genius chess player Bobby
Fischer. He presented his
invention on the 19
th
of June 1996
in Argentina. By starting every
game with a different starting
position, the theory of openings
should be of less importance, the
players have to think again instead
of remembering opening books.
We wish you a lot of fun using this
modern playing device.
