Emne: dice chess

what is the probability to start with a Pawn ?
1/2 (only two types of pieces are movable)
or
8/10 (ten out of the twelve movable pieces are pawn)

Thanks for answer

mangue: Should be 1/2 ... from my experience. Actually, I think the dice are programmed just like the backgammon ones (1/6), they are only re-rolled when a given move is impossible (that said, I hope that in a stalemate position the dice do not "freeze" rolling on and on and on .... :-)

Indeed, this is a very important questions. It absolutely has to be 1/2, not 8/10. That's because when you play with a real chessboard and die, the chance is 1/2.
