Can anyone post gid's of "Fischerrandom" games if any have been played on RHP?

Would such games have to be played as non-rated set pieces?

How would one go about setting up such a game?

This is actually sort of creepy. So far as I know Fischerrandom is not possible on RHP but I was just debating whether or not to suggest it in the Site Ideas Forum. I have played FR chess before on FICS and it was very enjoyable. Played correspondence style without the heavy time constraints (which I think are innapropriate for FR) would be a lot of fun.

You can setup an unrated set-piece game. You would just have to decide on the opening configuration yourself.

"New Game" --> "Advanced Options" --> "Set-Piece"

yeah, that's a good point, but to me it sort of defeats the purpose of random chess if the person can set them up as they like.

There's an ongoing (informal) random chess tournament Thread 42969.

Edit: Thread 41810 was the thread which started the idea for the tournament.

Thanks for the links ls, looks like some fun games.

I'll take a FR game against anybody that wants to take the time to set one up. Just set it up and send it my way.

I sent you one

The problem is that the FR rules allow for castling but I had to disable it because of an illegal setup.

I got the setup by starting a Chess960 game in Fritz

I open up my challenge settings for one freaking night, so somebody can send me a FR game and I get 3 unsolicited challenges (NON-FR games) from non-subs. Despite having "If you send me a challenge without PM'ing me first and I don't know you; I WILL DELETE it." in my profile.

Thanks for the challenge briancron, looks like it is gonna be a fun one.

This confuses me.

When I get the PGN for this particular game, I can't se anywhere in the PGN that it is a set up position.
Shouldn't it be a FEN tag or something to indicate this?

Yes, I think so. It looks to me like there's a bug in the PGN generation; it misses out a tag for the initial position setup.

You cannot play FischerRandom Chess in here. Any of you that has stated otherwise has not played a set game in here and a true FischerRandom chess game. You are allowed to castle in FischerRandom Chess.

I had a similar problem on FICS. There you can play Fischer Random chess but when the game history is e-mailed to you it gives no initial position rendering it quite worthless.
