I'm the article of the referenced article on chess openings. I'm also one of the authors of the Wikipedia article on Chess960 (Fischer Random Chess); you can see the information I wrote about it here: https://dwheeler.com/essays/Fischer_Random_Chess.html https://dwheeler.com/essays/Fischer_Random_Chess.html I think Chess960 is fun! But many people want to play "traditional chess", not Chess960. Also, knowing a little about traditional chess openings also helps when you're playing Chess960. Memorizing a long list of opening moves isn't helpful, but seeing examples of good openings is helpful even when the starting position is different.
