However, I believe the spirit of the requirement of ''random'' be that the random position would produce ''any'' of the 960 ''possible'' starting positions. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 04:53, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 
To this end, I wrote a REXX program (2<sup>nd</sup> programming entry) that randomly generates all possible unique 960 Chess960 starting positions and it shows a log of the results (unique starting positions) after each one-thousand generations.
 
This would make a good extension to the requirements to verify that the programming examples being used to create a random Chess960 starting position do indeed produce all possible starting positions. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 05:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
