Random openings

Hi! The random openings for Brazilian draughts that you put on here (FMJD tables) should be only used in Russian draughts. There are 9 openings that are probably already lost because of the rules - Brazilian players took Russian table with 745 openings and after analyzes deleted 9 which are not possible to play here. You took the FMJD table for both Brazilian and Russian version, and i can see that some of them are even not possible to setup: position 1 - IX from the list is ab4 ba5 ed4 dc5 bd6 ce5, which is illegal because the rule of majority. The correct table you should put is here:
