It is similar to Brand X Random Chess, a game of mine that may well be a previously invented form of Baseline Chess. Most randomized Chess variants have been done on 8x8 boards. I don't know if anyone has ever done one on a 10x10 board before. So this game may well be a new one.

I would suggest changing the name to something more distinctive, such as Decimal Random Chess. 'Random Chess' is already part of the names of other unrelated games, such 'Brand X Random Chess' and 'Fischer Random Chess'.

'This true randomization leads to little or no set opening plays. From the off each player has to think logically on the merits of their initial position.' - Benjamin Clarke

The extra 36 squares already ensure that. For a similar idea, see Chess on a 12 by 12 board.

I've created a new English Random Chess preset which provides automatically the random positions for both sides:

English Random chess could benefit from the Bishop Adjustment rule for
those positions with Bishops in same color squares:
