Chess960 Rematch generates the same board repeatedly

When a Chess960 game finishes and one of us chose Rematch from the popup, exactly the same board is generated again. Shouldn't it be a random among all the 960 board combinations there is?

It would be easier to to just click the Rematch button than going to the opponent's profile, start new game, chose Chess960, 1 day, color Black to get a new random board that would be a rematch from the previous one...

After all, generating random boards is what Chess960 is all about...

It's deliberate. It's so each player has a chance with white. There are some configurations that give white an advantage.

Thanks for the answer. It makes sense.

I noticed this too. The same game is generated over and over again. Not only a second time though. I'm playing the third game now and get the very same position again. Find this annoying.
