I want to know if it’s possible to have a custom board with different starting positions from that of in the normal game, similar to this video: https://youtu.be/Jmwk4ufcdyE?si=Avjrj45IQ4Mh-jx-

thanks, this works, but is it possible to play against someone using this? (as in the video)

No, playing against someone with a custom setup is yet to be a feature. Sorry!
