Context
Chess960 (or Fischer Random Chess) is a variant of chess invented and advocated by former World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer, publicly announced on June 19, 1996 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It employs the same board and pieces as standard chess; however, the starting position of the pieces on the players' home ranks is randomized
Rules
- White pawns are placed on the second rank as in standard chess
- All remaining white pieces are placed randomly on the first rank
- The bishops must be placed on opposite-color squares
- The king must be placed on a square between the rooks.
- Black's pieces are placed equal-and-opposite to White's pieces.

For all the people that would like to post answers...
you have to make a Chess960 positions generator, capable of randomly generate one of the 960 positions following the rules described above (it has to be capable of outputting any of the 960, hardcoding one position is not accepted!), and you only need to output the white rank one pieces.
Example output:
rkrbnnbq
where:
- k king
- q queen
- b bishop
- n knight
- r rook
This will be code golf, and the tie breaker will be the upvotes.
