i like to know your opinion to capablanca random chess.

Do you think, it's good to play it on chess.com?? Or generally to play it??

[for information: it's played on a 10x8 chess board with one figure that can move like rook & knight and one that can move like bishop and knight, How the figures stand is choosed like at C960]

Even though, I love chess, normal chess  has a high degree of arbitrariness anyway - castling, piece powers, starting postions etc to it (compared to draughts and Go for example) - which diminsihes  its aesthetic to me

To me this would introduce another layer of arbitrariness and make it even more baroque.

Not withstanding that, I like another suggestion that I believe Capablanca made or supported, which involved bishops and knights swapping their starting squares as a variant.
