Uri, what you describe might be Pseudo-FRC or the way traditional chess programs would handle Shuffle Chess. But Shuffle Chess itself does not know castling. Nevertheless, there is not a unique Shuffle Chess. There are variants of Shuffle Chess, where Bishops have to be placed upon different colored squares. These all are signs for Shuffle Chess not been widly accepted as a unique variant in contrast to the well understood and recognized variation Chess960. There also is a WNCA (World New Chess Association) for Chess960. There seems to be no comparable organization for Shuffle Chess. Reinhard.
