GM Rauf Mamedov Wins Strange Chess Tournament With All the Pieces on the Wrong Squares.

yeah Svidler once won on the 2nd move

@TAUTKUS Actually a single start position repeating over and over again in all the countless chess events on Lichess and elsewhere is more of a strange bug, isn't it?

If you are furthering sarcasm I'm sorry to say that It's late in the evening and my brain doth not register it correctly.

But Maybe You're getting at the regular position (piece setup) is just all to common right?
