Is it possible to generate random positions from any random game in a database? If so, how?

What database program do you use? In SCID on the Go apps, there is an option Go To Random Game. To get a random position, To get a random position, I suggest using a Random Integer Generator from random.org to get the move number of the game. You can set your Integer value from 10 to 40 or whatever range you preferred.

@bong711 Hey, Thanx a lot for introducing me to such useful software. I just downloaded it, and using Ctrl+? I can generate random games and with Ctrl+U and adding any number, get a position, so although it's 3 steps,  it is very efficient.
