Fischer Random Chess or Fischerandom Chess - not Chess960

            
Bobby Fischer is the most famous chess player. 

To use his name on a chess variant would be the best PR to interest media and chess players for a chess variant and their tournaments and matches.
So Fischer Random Chess or Fischerandom Chess is the best name to use. Not Chess960.  

As long as Bobby Fischer lived it was said by some to not use his name, and instead go for the name Chess960.
Now Bobby Fischer is dead, so it would be time to use the name Fischer Random Chess or Fischerandom Chess.  

It would be stupid to not use Fischer's name. 

And his insultings the last years he lived died with him, so don't let that be a reason for saying no to Fischer's name on a chess variant. 

Let us remember Bobby Fischer for his brilliant chess moves, his chess clock and his chess variant.
That's more than most of us other will be remembered for.

About me

I played my first chess game in December 1977 and was lucky to hold draw. I continued to play chess and joined a chess club in September 1978. I'm still enjoying playing chess. I like to do many other things than playing chess. Long walks, some jogging, cycling, reading books, listen to music, watch movies, writing and much more. Life is fun!
