;Task: Generate a random chess position in [[wp:Forsyth–Edwards Notation|FEN format]]. The position does not have to be realistic or even balanced,  but it must comply to the following rules: :* there is one and only one king of each color  (one black king and one white king); :* the kings must not be placed on adjacent squares; :* there can not be any pawn in the promotion square  (no white pawn in the eighth rank, and no black pawn in the first rank); :* including the kings, up to 32 pieces of either color can be placed. :* There is no requirement for material balance between sides. :* The picking of pieces does not have to comply to a regular chess set --- there can be five knights, twenty rooks, whatever ... as long as the total number of pieces do not exceed thirty-two. :* it is white's turn. :* It's assumed that both sides have lost castling rights and that there is no possibility for   ''en passant''   (the FEN should thus end in w - - 0 1). No requirement is made regarding the probability distribution of your method, but your program should be able to span a reasonably representative sample of all possible positions. For instance, programs that would always generate positions with say five pieces on the board, or with kings on a corner, would not be considered truly random.
