Yeah, now its simplified very. Maybe we can in future add something like that what OTB.

It's typical draw. In real bug, to prevent misconception, players did so: 1)Repeat position 2)Any player can say "first repetition" 3)Repeat position 4)"Second repetition" 5)Repeat position 6)"Third repetition" In fact, that's 4-time repetition. It's more fair, it's no problem.

It's even worse, you can't play hg because after Bxg2 the position repeats for the 3rd time! And you can change the turn queue from black to white, of course, and vice versa.

Long years ago... One player got position 1q3b1k/1r1pp1np/2r2p2/b3p3/2P5/KP6/P7/8/Nqr w - - 0 1 His opponent dropped Nf7+ and waited for rook by playing Nh6+- Nf7+. Player was annoyed, he decided that this should not be allowed. And he came up with a solution. Maybe you know this player?... After Player's judgement all became different. nk6/pPp5/1pB5/8/8/8/5PPP/5NK1/rrrq w - - 0 1 In this position draw began to be awarded. (...r@h1+, r@g1+, r@h1+, Q@g1+) . Does that seem fair for you? imho, it's just misconception. Finally, one more example. 2b3k1/5ppp/8/8/8/8/5PBP/5RK1/BBppp w - - 0 1 It's not all pieces, just theme. Black plays @h3, White's replica B@h1; hg Bxg2 @h3 B@h1 hg Bxg2... ...and you can't play @h3. It's nice... If you really want to defend our hero, you can change 3-time repetition to 4-time repetition; and I highly recommend this.

I see. Can you later select top few ? I will add to server for random generation.

Fischer Random positions generator added, for now its all positions where rook and king are on same pos so normal castling allowed. But its asymetric white vs black, in bughouse teams have it always of course same, so its about 30x30=900 combinations. We will use it in tourneys coming ...

In saturday 1.5 2021 from 21:30 we had small tourney from wild positions, was big fun again.

From positions implemented now on onlinea (http://bughousechess.wz.cz/iholandany/Iholande.htm)

Most seems are ok, some are a bit too wild maybe, but good for fun. In future we can by test divide it to i-bughouse pure and really wild
