Chess960v2 is a platform exploring asymmetrical chess by allowing White and Black to independently select from 960 valid Fischer Random setups, creating 921,600 possible starting positions. The site runs a massive round-robin tournament where Stockfish plays continuous self-play games at 2 seconds per move to keep server load manageable.
The project analyzes how different opening positions perform against each other through systematic tournament play. With 600 of 960 total rounds completed, the platform serves as both a research tool for chess variant analysis and a demonstration of large-scale computational chess evaluation.
