I don’t even know what to do about LLM authored articles. Do the prompt engineers hitting enter understand it’s difficult to read and off putting? Could HN use a secondary AI tag/flag?
Sadly I think it’ll be just a dead, poorly written internet moving forward.
Maybe the article is interesting. I don’t know. It’s exhausting to read.
If you want to read something interesting and edifying about chess960, the classical starting position, and other interesting starting positions, might I recommend instead this wonderful paper? https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.14319

Interesting topic but they couldn't be bothered to spend time writing about it, shame.

Yep, it was really hard to get my brain to focus on what was actually trying to be conveyed, and I'm a 2000 rated chess player
