Chess 9LX is another term for Chess 960 or Fischer Random. Chess 9LX is a variant of chess created by Bobby Fischer in the late 1990s in which the pieces on the home rank are randomized, with 960 representing the number of possible starting positions.
Players will not know the order of the home rank pieces until they arrive before the start of each round, and will have to rely on their creativity in a series of rapid and blitz games. The time control is 20 minutes for the whole game plus 5-second increments from move 1.
