The Chess960 tournament in Mainz is about a chess variant called Chess960,
previously known as Fischer random chess. The pieces get shuffled on the back
row and there is some special castle move availlable. See
http://www.chessvariants.org/diffsetup.dir/fischer.html for further information.

The tournament in Reykjavik is the one that features regular chess.
