In view of principle of 'exception of two identical pieces in one number
from three squares' is possible to offer 2 more variants of initial
position in Symchess.(In view of preservation of the order
R,N,B,Q,K,B,N,R).
o o o o o o o o o o-3rd row,
U R N B Q K B N R U-2nd row,
A(d1)..C(g1)-1st row (I variant)
o o o o o o o o o o-3rd row,
R N U B Q K B U N R-2nd row,
A(c1)... C(h1)-1st row (II variant)
First of them can be rejected from aesthetic reasons (normal castling impossible).
The second has lack. Total of protection of pawns - it is
minimal(2x4+2x3+6x1=20). Opening setup from Symchess and Sam Trenholmes`
variant for Symchess are the optimal because, the total sum of protection of pawns is maximal(=22) and also all pawns are protected.
