No, I don't use constants in this preset anymore, and Fischer Placement Chess
isn't randomized. It is a manual method of generating 25 Chess960 positions.
However, I again inserted the old code, which uses a constant. And it has
ceased working. I then changed this constant to a variable, and it works
again.

I suggest that you revert to the old way of how constants function. There
might be many presets that have stopped working now.

The way in which I used the constant is this: I first, in the precode, make
setconst plyturn 1;, then I call unsetconst plyturn; setconst plyturn 2;,
etc., and increment plyturn in order to keep count of which turn it is.
This simple method doesn't work anymore. (I just happened to use it
because you recommended constants in the problems with the ask command.)
