One of the major appeals of Chess 960 is that it completely eliminates rote memorization of lengthy book lines of opening analysis. The games starts on move 1. The downside is that many players are left struggling with how to play their opening moves and achieving a playable middle game. I've been playing 960 chess for a number of years and have slowly developing a set of principles on how to play the opening. Some patterns do recur with regular frequency. For example, having a pair of bishops on a1/b1 or g1/h1. Should there be a pawn position one should strive for in this scenario? I believe so.
