==Setup==
Before the game, a starting position is randomly determined and set up, subject to certain requirements. White's pieces (not pawns) are placed randomly on the first {{chessgloss|rank}}, following two rules:
# The bishops must be placed on opposite-color squares.
# The king must be placed on a square between the rooks.

[[White and Black in chess|Black]]'s pieces are placed equal-and-opposite to White's pieces. (For example, if the white king is randomly determined to start on f1, then the black king is placed on f8.) Pawns are placed on the players' second ranks as in classical chess.

After setup, the game is played the same as [[Rules of chess|classical chess]] in all respects, with the exception of castling from the different possible starting positions for king and rooks.
