Random Army

Same rules, scrambled back rank.

Both sides start with a randomized, approximately balanced back rank instead of the standard setup — every game opens into unfamiliar territory.

Rules

Read before you play — no surprises mid-game.

  • Pawns remain on the second rank as normal.
  • The back rank is shuffled using a balanced randomizer shared by both sides.
  • Castling rights adjust automatically to the randomized king and rook positions.
