What do you mean with "a randomized seed"? Do you mean to place at random all the pieces on 2nd and 9th ranks?

I'm afraid I will not be able to help you much because I'm a neophyte in programming matters. I learned a bit about randomization by analizing the Fischer Random Chess preset and some other presets edited by José Carrillo.

I have only edited 5 presets with rules enforced:

1) Sac Chess

2) Euchess

3) Cardinal Chess

4) Chess 9x9

5) Glinski's Hexagonal Chess (Symmetric)

All of them simply by copying and pasting the code from some other presets edited by Fergus.

Anyway, I will try to help as much as I can. My recommendation is to analize carefully both Grand Chess and Omega Chess presets.
