Why not Double Chess 960 variant (two different 960 starting positions) with 921.600 Games possible?  This is really Incredible and Inexplicable!!!

This idea has been discussed a few times before, see for example: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-variants/chess-921-600

The number of positions can be increased significantly by adding random castling flags. There are 16 permutations for castling. 960 ^ 2 * 16 = 14,745,600 positions.

Regular 960 * 16 = 15,360

What do you think about random castling flags ?
