Can anyone post gid's of "Fischerrandom" games if any have been played on RHP?
Would such games have to be played as non-rated set pieces?
How would one go about setting up such a game?
Mathurine 🙂
Originally posted by tmetzleryeah, that's a good point, but to me it sort of defeats the purpose of random chess if the person can set them up as they like.
You can setup an unrated set-piece game. You would just have to decide on the opening configuration yourself.
"New Game" --> "Advanced Options" --> "Set-Piece"

There's an ongoing (informal) random chess tournament Thread 42969.

I'll take a FR game against anybody that wants to take the time to set one up. Just set it up and send it my way.

The problem is that the FR rules allow for castling but I had to disable it because of an illegal setup.
Game 2865222
I got the setup by starting a Chess960 game in Fritz

I open up my challenge settings for one freaking night, so somebody can send me a FR game and I get 3 unsolicited challenges (NON-FR games) from non-subs. Despite having "If you send me a challenge without PM'ing me first and I don't know you; I WILL DELETE it." in my profile.
Thanks for the challenge briancron, looks like it is gonna be a fun one.

When I get the PGN for this particular game, I can't se anywhere in the PGN that it is a set up position.
Shouldn't it be a FEN tag or something to indicate this?
Originally posted by FabianFnasYes, I think so. It looks to me like there's a bug in the PGN generation; it misses out a tag for the initial position setup.

I said that but it's close enough I guess.
