Roll a d4 die at the start of the game (or two coin flips), randomizing white's first move among c4 d4 e4 Nf3.
If white really doesn't like the randomly selected move, he or she can instead play some other (unusual) opening move not among those 4.
This is a conservative alternative to Chess960.
Inspired by some players, e.g., Nakamura, who regularly play all 4 opening moves as white, making it difficult for opponents to deeply prepare openings against them (which was the point of Fischer Random). Carlsen rotated among 3 in the recent World Championship.
