O, btw if you want to set up pieces randomly all that's needed is 1 die.

For full random with bishops on opposite colors and king between rooks:
1st bishop roll 1-5 and count from left the black squares. Second bishop 1-5 and count from left white squares.
King can't go on the edge squares so roll 1-6 and counting skip first square and count to whatever you roll.
Roll for a rook on the left and right of king.
Roll for Chancellor, Archbishop, and queen, then put knights on what's left.

Or you can start with king and rooks on normal squares and then do bishops and then Q,C,A then knights.
