Even if Black played the 0th move, after that the 0th move ends and 1st begins. So even with your madness, it still is move 1. Now I've got work to do.
@alekhinesgun1937 "0th move" here means ply=0

#20 @xXJrHoLLoWeDXx No predetermined positions, just a random number generator (unless you choose the position yourself).
My question is : "why systematically choose standard position for variants (except chess960 of course) ?
Is it the only starting position guaranteeing equality for both sides ?
I really don't think so.
That choice was made just by tradition. And tradition is the opposite of discovering new worlds.

I agree @frankie-goes
It's the next frontier! We should atleast have the choice to play random positions for the other variants.
Some of the other variants' starting positions (e.g. Racing Kings) are also random!
