Hello,

during last days I published following simplified method to lay down a gane of
Fischer Random Chess: [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/fullchess2_e.html]

<ol start="1"><li><i>The eight big white chess men has to be put into a bag and
shuffled there.</i></li>
<li><i>One piece after another will be taken (blocking any glances) out of the
bag until all eight have been placed (from 'a' to 'h') at their base
rank.</i></li>
<li><i>Will be observed, that both bishops are placed at <strong>equal</strong>
colored squares, select the bishop from the side, which the king has towards the
queen. Now search upon the <strong>contrary</strong> colored squares for king
(with priority) or queen; a) <strong>swap</strong> the piece first found that
way with the bishop; b) otherwise <strong>repeat</strong> the drawing
(3%).</i></li>
<li><i>Will be observed, that the king has not been placed somewhere
<strong>between</strong> the rooks, then the king has to be exchanged with the
rook <strong>next</strong> to him.</i></li></ol>
