ChessStars.net: Where Opponents Play Chess for Fun or Money
ChessStars.net launches their new chess website with tournaments for cash prizes,
and offers a number of game play options including a new variation of the game:
Random Piece Chess.
April 1, 2010 -- ChessStars.net offers chess enthusiasts new twists on the game
that’s been played for hundreds of years. In addition to Classic Chess, variations
of the game include Chess960 and an exciting new game: Random Piece Chess.
Classic Chess is exactly as it sounds: chess in its classic form with options to
play for fun against friends, or play credit games for cash prizes. New members
to the website receive 100 free Credits to get them started.
Chess960 is a variant of chess where the pieces in the back row are rearranged in
one of a possible 960 combinations. This exciting chess game ensures a different
game every time, and truly forces players to think about moves thoroughly. Players
who play Chess960 must rely on pure chess skill; not just their ability to memorize
opening strategies. As with Classic Chess, players can play Chess960 just for fun
or play credit-based games.
ChessStars.net also offers the unique one of a kind Random Piece Chess game. When
playing Random Piece Chess, one is forced to come up with a different unique strategy
based on the current game at hand. A random piece is generated for each player once
per game, with the player having up to three turns in order to place the piece on
the board for use during the game.
Upcoming Tournaments:
ChessStars.net offers a variety of different types of tournaments that can be played.
There are 8 person tournaments in all of the different chess variants that run daily,
as well as 16 person tournaments that run twice a day; once at 8:00 PM EDT and once
at 8:00 PM UTC + 3 (Moscow Time). These tournaments will feature cash prizes for
the final four contestants that are entered.
