It seems wrong that White both relocates second and moves first, as that essentially doubles the advantage that White already has.  Being the second player to relocate is definitely an advantage as you get the benefit of the knowledge of what the other player has decided when you make your decision.

If you did it the other way, though, it would help to balance out White's first-move advantage (as well as being consistent with the ZoG implementation...)
