960 games start with same SP 3 times in a row
It seems like in matches in 960 mode, players get the same starting position 3 times in a row, as players from zh960 Tournament has reported to me (Mugwort, Crazy_Eight etc). The interruption of the flow might have an effect on the focus of the players to actual games, when they have to abort/resign to get balanced number of same positions and keeping track of the score at the same time.
Example cases: https://www.pychess.org/NW09Rm6d, https://www.pychess.org/odq9ZfGM , https://www.pychess.org/7wlA0hvw (wolf has resigned after noticing 3rd time same position, followed by 2 game abortions right after before they continued their match)
