grenv: Oh, I think it will work well - I'm just saying that if the chess pieces are not in a standard position, then it's not really dark loop chess - but dark loop random chess.

I think dark loop random chess will work since if you put the captured pieces anywhere, you can see where your opponents pieces are but you don't know which is which.

If it is not "random" and just the standard position is uses, then i would say that pieces can only be placed where you have a line of sight and know there is nothing there.
