(The procedure from Paul Pogonyshev is repeated below.)

On average it will have 54 stones, 27 empty points. It you want a more
middle-game-ish position, increase the probability of an empty point
(e.g. empty 0.6, black 0.2, white 0.2). This will also give you a legal
position more frequently.

------------------------
  1. create a really random position, i.e. traverse all intersection and
     assign a black/white/empty state at random to each;

  2. if it happens to be not legal, discard and repeat step 1.
