The positions shouldn't have to mirror each other, should be totally random, so really it should be chess 919,681.

The starting positivions can appear in chess 960 because everything is random, even the starter postillon

There are only 959 positions so next number is 960. Therefore it is called Chess960. But it should be Chess959 because there are only 959 positions
