CB calls it shuffle chess, and allows you to set up a new game with either an opening designated by number, or a random opening consistent with the rules for setting up the back rank for both sides. It seems to me this could be a good test for engines as it should completely eliminate the effect of opening knowledge, even such knowledge built into the engine, however I can see no way to designate "random" chess in S8 GUI for either engine matches or engine tourneys. Have I missed something? If the openings could be set up as a test suite, such as Nunn 1 or 2, i.e., an opening position, that should work in CB. Does anyone know if there is such a database anywhere? Thanks. Chris
