Chess960 Fool's Mate Variation

The chance that you encounter a starting position like this is 1/120. This mate has been fixed and legalised thanks to ichabod801.

lol. good spot

LOL

Wow!

ADK

Actually, there is no chance that you will see that position in a chess960 game. The reason being that it's not a legal starting position. In Chess960, the King must start between the rooks. No position starts with the king outside the rooks like that... sorry.

Ahh.. It was so pretty :(

There, fixed that for you. 

I believe there's eight ways to get a position with that sort of mate (four variations of knights and bishops, with reflections). So 1 in 120 chance.

Thanks ichabod! I'll post your lines.

The permutations with s knight on d doesn't work because it can block the check. So there are two permutations and its reflections, 1/240 chance
