Capablanca random chess is a chess variant, invented by Reinhard Scharnagl in 2004. It combines the ideas of Capablanca chess and Fischer random chess. This game won in 2005 a [contest] to design a 10-chess variant.

Rules

The rules are the same as in Capablanca chess, but initial setup is randomized. White and black pieces are setup in symmetrical position. The pieces on the first rank are placed in random way with the following restrictions: The first two restrictions are taken from Fischer random chess. The third is intended to minimize the advantage of first move. And the last one is to avoid possible legal issues with Gothic chess, which is protected by a USA patent.

Extended FEN Encoding

Within Capablanca Random Chess X-FEN is used (to represent positions).
