Make any starting position with 39 points of material. When players are ready the setups are revealed and normal chess rules apply.

Play against computer, with a friend, or multiplayer

Interesting! I launched the chess960v2.com project a couple of days ago! I'm actively working on the online game, and I think it'll be ready in a couple of days. Why 39 points of material?
