A new form of random chess. The opening setup for the pawns is
chosen randomly while satisfying the condition that the pawns must be
either placed on the second or third rank. There are 256 possible
configurations.
All of them are sound and balanced, and fully playable. Note that black's
setup
mirrors white's. In all other respects this game is the same as orthodox
chess.
The opening setup for the pieces on the first rank is the same as in
orthodox
chess. This is convenient, as chessplayers will feel immediately at home.
