However give my best best best auguries for your proposal, that surely
you've explained in more complete and exhausting way than how much I
wanted to make (to only transmit an idea, the same one that you have
already had :-), but that many seem not had spoken up to now, in spite of
the lot of number of chess variants).
This isn't the first time that i crossover with your ideas, and i've
talked with you about all possible pawns structres with same results with
same resulting number (do you rememerber? after that I haven't no more
working about calculating the exact number of all possible chess
positions
because I'm not a serious one-question-at-time solver, in fact I
preferred
work on my personal 'classical chess opening book'...).
However a little difference in my proposal were on the possibility to
incluce in the randomize also the 'Archbishop or Chancellor' chosen, so
to include in the random possibilities the well-known/well-playable Janus
Chess variant (pratically Capablanca Chess with 2 Archbishops instead of
Archbishop+Chancellor). I also propose to ponder the random possibilities
in the chosen of disposition of the pieces, in the randomize process. In
fact as Ed Trice says that his disposition is more well-playable than the
original Carrera/Capablanca disposition, and as Anand says that some
dispositions in Fischer Random Chess are bad-playable, we can start to
ponder the dispositions do it's more probable in the random-chosen a
disposition like the Gothic Chess or Janus Chess or Grotesque Chess,
instead of a disposition with more unprotected pawns (not well-playable
as
Ed Trice says).
Such new specialty could very well be Wild 30 between
the 'Wild' Chess Variants of ICC (the Internet Chess Club)
(http://www.chessclub.com/helpcenter/tips/wild.html), as perhaps Random
Thematic Chess, another chess variant that I've proposed in another
discussion
(http://www.chessninja.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000674),
both to obtain the same result to diminish the advantage of the theorical
preparation (not being able to choose the opening from a personal
mnemonic
repertory, like Bobby Fischer says).
My best regards, Reinhard
I will follow you
