Map<String, dynamic> random = fischerRandomLookUp.randomID();

Get the starting position's arrangement of pieces by a given ID

FischeRandomChess fischeRandomChess = FischeRandomChess();
ind id=10; //example
var result = fischerRandomLookUp.decode(id);
if(result==false){
 //not a valid id
}else if(result is List<String>){
 print(result);

Get the starting position's arrangement of pieces by a given ID

FischeRandomChess fischeRandomChess = FischeRandomChess();
String arrangments = 'NBBQNRKR'; // or ['N','B','B','Q','N','R','K','R']
