The pc version doesn't. But I think chessmaster 11 will.

That's too bad...they really should put it in the next Chessmaster as it seems to be the most popular of all the chess variants-also the most fun,IMO.Thanks for answering my question. Smile

A little piece of code that copies a random position in the clipboard. Just save the code in a test.html file with notepad, execute and paste the result in CM in forsythe notation.
It works in IE only.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i;
var base;
var permuted = "";
var b1=-1;
var b2=-1;
document.write( "<Input name=text1 size=50 > </Input>" );
document.write( "<button onclick=clic() name=go > Go </button>" );

function clic() {

while(1==1) {
b1=-1;
b2=-1;
base = "rnbqkbnr";
permuted = "";

for(i=0; i<8; i++) {
var c = draw();
if(c.charAt(0)=='b') {
if( b1==-1 ) b1=i; else b2=i;
}
permuted += c;
}
if((b2-b1)%2==1) break;
}

permuted+=("/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/"+permuted.toUpperCase() + " w " );
window.clipboardData.setData("Text", permuted);
document.getElementById("text1").setAttribute("value", permuted);
}

function draw( ) {
var len = base.length
var choice = Math.floor(Math.random()*len);
if(choice==len) choice=len-1;
var ret=base.substring(choice, choice+1);
base = base.substring(0,choice)+base.substring(choice+1,8);
return ret;
}
</script>

But it won't be able to handle castling... or?

It seems that the castling rule is stil in discussion among the FRC community. Anyway, I don't like this rule : it's uselessly complicated and the fact that the king must be between the two rooks limits the variant.
I've made a correction in the script so that the bishops are necessarily on different colours though.

According to http://www.chessclub.com/helpcenter/tips/wild.html my version would be "wild 2", limited shuffle. full shuffle would be "wild 4".
Fischer would be a special rule for castling.
(???).
