Sounds interesting, do you want to make it rated, i.e. start a normal game and agree that both players make the same rearrangement. Could swap knights and rooks without moving pawns. Its not quite random but a bit different. Challenge me with title 'fischer chess' I'll have an open game by the end of today
"There are many procedures for creating this starting position. Hans L. Bodlaender has proposed the following procedure using one six-sided die to create an initial position; typically this is done just before the game commences:
Roll the die, and place a white bishop on the black square indicated by the die, counting from the left. Thus 1 indicates the first black square from the left (a1 in algebraic notation), 2 indicates the second black square from the left (c1), 3 indicates the third (e1), and 4 indicates the fourth (g1). Since there are no fifth or sixth positions, re-roll 5 or 6 until another number shows.
Roll the die, and place a white bishop on the white square indicated (1 indicates b1, 2 indicates d1, and so on). Re-roll 5 or 6.
Roll the die, and place a queen on the first empty position indicated (always skipping filled positions). Thus, a 1 places the queen on the first (leftmost) empty position, while a 6 places the queen on the sixth (rightmost) empty position.
Roll the die, and place a knight on the empty position indicated. Re-roll a 6.
Roll the die, and place a knight on the empty position indicated. Re-roll a 5 or 6.
Place a white rook on the 1st empty square of the first rank, the white king on the 2nd empty square of the first rank, and the remaining white rook on the 3rd empty square of the first rank.
Place all white and black pawns on their usual squares, and place Black's pieces to exactly mirror White's (so Black should have on a8 exactly the same type of piece that White has on a1).
This procedure generates any of the 960 possible initial positions of Fischer Random Chess with an equal chance; on average, this particular procedure uses 6.7 die rolls. Note that one of these initial positions is the standard chess position, at which point a standard chess game begins."
thats how.. wouldnt be rated unless they come up with an option for it to be... and it would be a set piece game probly...
Does anyone actually want to play it, we could agree sequence of moves (e.g. can swap nights and rooks very easily) at beginning, 1 pawn move (king or queen pawn) would allow you to swap anything except 1 bishop.
Ive got an open game so challenge me with fischer random as title
