Today I played the same starting position in 3 consecutive White games! (There were 2 Black games in between, with different positions.)

I don't think this is luck, or un-luck, and I don't think it's a bug, but I don't know what it is, heh)

Starting positions of 960 games are produced by a random() function. Possible the system eliminates same position only for consecutive games. This means it can produce the same position for non consecutive games. The very very low probability of this case doesn't mean it never happens.
Math is awesome! :)

There should be a Chess 960 Lottery Fund somewhere right ?!! The Odds are so low of Three in a row . BTW I don't usually find myself rooting for people but as of late I have been rooting for you during these tournaments where clearly younger players are having difficuties disposing of you ! I used to still do but far less nowadays find myself playing over many games ... I will be 60 this year in May so I remember when you played in the 1990s against all the GMs of that era as well . I was a little late starting Tournaments myself in 1983 but I did gain 1000 Rating points from 1255 -2251 in 1989 & finished 7th twice in Southern California Closed Ch in 1993 & 1994 but never reached 2300 myself OTB ... Well Good Luck vs "The Youngings" ! LOL I speak like I'm 77 years old or something hehe' @RealDavidNavara

It may surprise you, but Mr. Navara was born in 1985.
