{{draft task}}
The purpose of this task is to generate a random chess position in [[wp:FEN|FEN format]]. The position does not have to be realistic or even balanced, but it must comply to the following rules
* there is one and only one king of each color (one black king and one white king);
Line 8:
* in addition to the kings, 0 up to 32 pieces of either color can be added. There is no requirement for material balance between sides;
* it is white's turn, it is assumed that both sides have lost castling rights and that there is no possibility for *en passant* (the FEN should thus end in <tt>w - - 0 1</tt>);
No requirement is made regarding the probability distribution of your method, but it should be able to span a reasonably representative sample of all possible positions. For instance, a program that would always generate positions with say five pieces on the board would not be considered truly random.
