Introducing Scramble and Trafalgar Chess. Say goodbye to learning chess openings

1) Scramble is the best random chess variant. Each player has 4 Pawns, 4 Knights, 4 Bishops, 3 Rooks, 2 Queens, and 1 King. Pawns and Kings have fixed positions. The other pieces are scrambled around the border. After placing all pieces on the board no King should be in check. 

2) Trafalgar Chess has 4 extra Pawns per player, placed in two columns that mimic the famous battle of Trafalgar.

You can play both games against Stockfish. 

Both games will mess up the chess openings so you don't have to ever worry about that.

The problem with scramble chess, since it is random, take your example and swap the Knight and Bishop on a7 and c8, and then swap the rook and knight on a6 and a5. You get a "possible" position, and yet, Black is lost from the word go as 1.Bxc6+ and 2.Bxa8 wins a Rook (not an exchange, a rook) from the word go!
