Instead of having a fixed starting position the players take turns deciding the position of a piece type (with black placing the first and last piece).

The following will be placed behind the pawns of each player

1 king
2 dark-square bishops
2 light-square bishops
2 centaurs
3 queens
4 hourses
4 rooks

You will end up with 2 empty places behind the pawns

For each turn the player will decide which piece to place.

If 2 dark square bishops remain you cannot place any other piece on dark square if only 2 dark squares remain
If 1 dark square bishop remain you cannot place any other piece on dark square if only 1 dark square remain
If 2 light square bishops remain you cannot place any other piece on light square if only 2 light squares remain
If 1 light square bishop remain you cannot place any other piece on light square if only 1 light square remain

Example of position prior to the first move
For this example the players were restricted to mirrored placements
