That's how Falcon Chess 8x10 operates. There is no interest in shuffling
per se. Instead from 7 to 9 arrays stand out, and they should be able to be
whittled to 4-5. Two are ''offical chess'' now, in what is still just
an intellectual construct: RNBFQKFBNR and RNFBQKBFNR. For five years
Abdul-Rahman Sibahi prefers in order RFNBQKBNFR and RBFNQKNFBR (Templars).
There are also FBRNQKNRBF (Pyramids) and FRNBQKBNRF (Cheops). On the
principle Falcon is the complement to RNB, the same way Bishop was the
complement in year 1500 to ancient Rook and Knight, there should be from
2-5 starting arrays instead of settling on only one, for our 21st-century
stamp. In all the above, Q and K are sometimes reversed but that's the same
array; and there are others named than those parenthesized. There are
different arguments for more centralized Knights and unprotected Pawns in
one or another. All these issues to resolve for line-ups of just one
''CV.'' (Carrera-Bird-Capablanca also substantially resolves to determinations of
arrays numbering 10 or 20. In general, specifying a few arrays to 4000
CVPage CVs will just increase that 4000 to 12,000 or 16,000, because most
write-ups are for one particular initial position.)
