+  | Pawns start on the 7th rank. Move a knight to promote them.
+
+p.
+  ...Only the initial position changes, but this makes a huge difference.
+  In particular, castling would be rather pointless so it's disabled here.
+  En-passant captures are impossible because all pawns already reached 7th rank.
+
+h3 About the initial position
+
+p.
+  Since truly random start can allow a mate in 3 with a knight,
+  the kings have at least one knight neighbor in the initial position.
+  This allows to move free out of potential check from the very beginning.
+
+p.
+  A less constraining condition would be to require the two knights to stand on
+  two squares of different colors, but it's not enough as proved by the
+  following diagram.
+  White can mate in 3: 1.Nc6 followed by Nb4 threatening both a2 and d3.

+
+h3 Acerca de la posición inicial
+
+p.
+  Una disposición de piezas completamente al azar puede permitir un mate en 3
+  con un caballo: es por eso que el rey siempre está al lado de a menos
+  un caballo al comienzo del juego. Esto le permite liberarse de jaques tan pronto
+  primer movimiento.
+
+p.
+  Para ilustrar este fenómeno, los blancos pueden mate en 3 en la posición
+  del siguiente diagrama: 1.Na6 seguido de Nc5 luego Nd3#.
+  Si el caballo negro estuviera en g1, una defensa sería posible con Nf3-Ne5;
+  pero con un caballo al lado del rey se ofrecen más opciones.
