This doesn't seem to include a rule that the two starting positions are equal (same pieces on the A file, B file, etc.). Also, I don't see how "human intuition" comes into play, or why Stockfish couldn't play this as well as any other variant. Picking the most useful piece to put on a square requires no intuition at all, it's just a few additional possible actions. At least as implemented, there is no "hidden information", the pieces aren't assigned to a location before they are revealed. |

- There is a certain level uncertainty about where these pcs will land. Yes perhaps stockfish could try to add all possible future placements but I expect that would significantly hinder stockfish as the the number of possibilities grow hundreds of times.
Your opponent doesn’t know which piece will be where until you reveal it. Therefore can’t attack a non defended pawn on b column because you may reveal a castle on next turn.
On the overall it mitigates problems of weird openings in regular chess 960 but End game stays the same.
