We do not disagree. I critizise it too. I only wanted to express that this SMK-Chess960-FEN thing is NOT a ChessBase thing. Fritz supports shuffle chess, 2880 positions, (I do not remember since which version), but not the very specific Fischer Random rules, so far. >This SHREDDER FEN, as far as I could understand it, is confusing for people who >want to use the chess positions as such, no matter from which beginning they >came.

Already for those games ChessBase >couldn't find a decent solution as you know, these games are presented with a P >in front as if they were positions in the listings. And nothing is coded in the >header. For odds games, I think there is no problem when they come with a P = starting from a setup position. There are additional tags [setup "1"] and the FEN in the header, but any GUI which understands PGN, won't have a problem with that. This is perfectly correct according to the PGN specifications.
