(Follow-up on the random placement of the two rooks.) &nbsp; I re-worked the REXX code and it now has a much more randomness in the (proper) placement of the two rooks. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 15:19, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks to (user) Steenslag for pointing out the un-randomness of the rook placement in the REXX code.

I've updated the REXX programs.-- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 15:19, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
