Select No pieces to switch off all pieces without having to do this manually for each.
If the range for white men is set at “3–4” only positions with at least three and at most four white men are retrieved. "1–1" pieces means that exactly one piece of that kind must be present. If you set the range for white kings and black kings at “0-0”, positions with kings will not be retrieved.
Difference

Equal pieces
Check Equal pieces of you only want positions where white and black has the same number of pieces.
Begin Position Only
