Excellent article! In the first part it describes much better what I tried to explain :-). It's funny that users actually would want "Random Play" to be less random, but more systematic, to make it fell... more random.

(FWIW: we're using Fisher Yates, too).

Now if somebody wanted to give their algorithm a try... a PR would be very welcome.
