Why random ? The Capablanca's chess seems very interresting too http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/capablanca.html Programers who want to bypass all that lawthings can use the latest setup from capablanca : " The final version upon which Capablanca settled is the following. Edward Lasker writes in his book The Adventure of Chess from 1950 that he has played many games with Capablanca on the 10 by 10 board, and the 10 by 8 board, which was the final design, with the setup given below. White: King f1; Queen e1; Archbishop c1; Chancellor h1; Rook a1, j1; Knight b1, i1; Bishop d1, g1; Pawn a2, b2, c2, d2, e2, f2, g2, h2, i2, j2. Black: King f8; Queen e8; Archbishop c8; Chancellor h8; Rook a8, j8; Knight b8, i8; Bishop d8, g8; Pawn a7, b7, c7, d7, e7, f7, g7, h7, i7, j7. " http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/capabl04.gif
