Hi Kurt,

you wrote: ... all looks very chaotical ... but that is only
a variant to the situation, where your opening knowledge has
come to its end. Indeed that point is reached a 'little earlier'
within FRC. But this is not a weakness of FRC but one of its
main intentions. A creative postional and combinatorical game
from its beginning has been created.

Additionally to that there soon will be a new German book on FRC:
