As far as I can tell, this is the first YouTube Chess Analysis of a Grandmaster-level Chess 960 game! If you’re going to analyze you should analyze the best, so I chose this game from the World Chess 960 Championships. Hikaru Nakamura played white, and Levon Aronian, played black. Naka came up short in this game but went on to win the 2009 tournament in stirling fashion to become the World Chess 960 Champion.
