I have played wild 2 a lot, which I'd like to recommend as a good practical training and entertainment. I think this is identical to fischer random (more or less; at chess.net you can castle when K+R are on the original squares IIRC). For wild 2 beginners, it is important to notice that a pawn can be attacked with the very first move (which was often overlooked by my opponents). Furthermore, when your bishops are of the same color, I think it's good to place the pawns on the other color right from the start of the game. For me, the interesting aspect of wild is, that opponents with detailed openings knowledge loose this advantage, and only the practical playing strength decides. Regards, M.Scheidl
