Anand-Bacrot: A look back at a 960 game
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1187753022.shtml


   Because of the funny castling rules, downloading and presenting
   Chess960 games is a challenge. Still, one game from the championship
   at Mainz was especially worth presenting, so I've linked it below,
   giving the moves after both sides had castled. It's from the
   preliminaries, and shows Bacrot experiencing a horrific end against
   Anand, one that, had it happened in a normal game, might have made the
   tactics books for the next ten years.
   [1]Have a look, and I hope your amusement and amazement is tempered
   with a touch of pity for the poor victim.
