Capablanca Random Chess. Randomized setup for Capablanca chess. (10x8, Cells: 80) [All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]<BLOCKQUOTE>
you are obviously unsure on the grade of distinctness between valid CRC arrays and the GC starting position.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Comparing the GC array 'RNBQCKABNR' to one reported as from Bird 'RNBCQKABNR' there is a Hamming distance of only two.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>That is correct. In this instance, the Levenshtein Distance is also 2.</P>
<P>Based on this, I see three options for you.</P>
<OL>
<LI> Exclude just the Gothic Chess setup.</LI>
<LI> Exclude any setup whose Hamming Distance from Gothic Chess is 2 or less.</LI>
<LI> Exclude any setup whose Levenshtein Distance from Gothic Chess is 2 or less.</LI>
</OL>
<P>Each subsequent option excludes more setups than the previous one. Your CRC proposal currently uses the second of these options.</P>
