Chess 960 is not Chess

At least that's my feeling, now that I've played one (unrated) game. I'm a tournament Chess player, and was certainly happy enough to try it; would even play again, sometime.

But I'm a bit uncomfortable seeing that my result in 960 got counted as another 'Chess' game in my personal statistics. It doesn't matter that I won. To me, it's a different animal - and I would prefer to see it counted separately, as a different game.

I agree. Similar enough that a single rating doesn't bother me, but different enough that combined statistics does.
