Comments.Text: Don't let you fall into the "today's chess has too much theory" trap! You can reach 2300+ FIDE level studying regular chess and knowing little to no theory. Some strategical themes are specific to standard chess, so you won't learn as much from 960 Chess. If you want less "theory-charged" games, have a look at classical games

Comments.Text: @TonyEnnis I would disagree that the proper answers would be in the past after a while. I haven't set any sort of time period. I'm just looking for upcoming tournaments. If I posed the same question about regular chess, I'd get answers like the FIDE Grand Prix, or the European Championship, amongst other things, as they are tournaments that happen on a regular basis. Moreover, I'm not just asking about upcoming tournaments, but also about past tournaments. Surely that wouldn't make it "too localized".

Title: Major Chess 960 tournaments?
ThreadText: # Major Chess 960 tournaments?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2013-02-16)
  
  Does anyone have any information about upcoming [Chess 960](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess960) tournaments at the top level (i.e. GMs and IMs)? Even links to/information about past, major tournaments would be appreciated. I recently learned about Chess 960, and find it quite fascinating. I am also of the opinion that it would be more interesting to follow/study than regular chess early on in the game (since opening theory in regular chess goes as far as 25-30 moves in some openings), and beautiful novelties such as [Aronian-Anand, 2013](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1704763) can be prepared at home.
