wild 1

 

Wild 1: In this variant both sides have the same set of pieces as in normal chess. The white king starts on d1 or e1 and the black king starts on d8 or e8, and the rooks are in their usual positions. Bishops are always on opposite colors. Subject to these constraints the position of the pieces on their first ranks is random. Castling is done similarly to normal chess: o-o-o indicates long castling and o-o short castling.

Example:

     BLACK
r b n q k n b r
p p p p p p p p
