New Shuffle Game
Similar to ‘New Game’, but allows you to specify a particular initial position (according to a standardized numbering system) in chess variants which use randomized opening positions (e.g. Chess960). -The selected opening position will persistently be chosen on any following -New Game command until you use this menu to select another. Selecting -position number -1 will produce a newly randomized position on any new game. +You can also press the ‘Pick Fixed’ button to let XBoard generate +a random number for you. +The thus selected opening position will then persistently be chosen on any following +New Game command until you use this menu to select another. +Selecting position number -1 (or pushing the ‘Randomize’ button) +will produce a newly randomized position on any new game. Using this menu item in variants that normally do not shuffle their opening position does cause these variants to become shuffle variants until you use the ‘New Shuffle Game’ menu to explicitly switch the randomization off,
