I would like to play from those shuffled positions without editing the setup. is there any chess program with graphics supporting it ? if not - it would be nice. i remember chess system tal supported fischer-clock, but not the setup-position. IMO it would be a good idea for computerchess. in the moment opening books and clever opening booking very often hides how strong the engine REALLY is. i would like that chess programs have the possibility to BEGIN autoplayer games from fischer-random positions, that means WIHTOUT usual big book lines. I also know that many chess programs have special knowledge based on traditional pieces setting, but despite this, i would like to see how it works. IMO these big openings and amount of theory stops computerchess from development. you can argue that opening books are part of chess, i would say: of HUMAN chess. for humans opening preparations may make sense, since humans cannot learn anything by heart. but a computer, with massive memory and harddisc can create enourmous learning by heart in the opening stage. IMO this perverts chess. the idea behind chess was to CREATE a move by your own. gigantic opening books do not create a move, they REPLAY them. therefore i would like to see programs (GUI's) support fischer - random chess. it would e.g. nice to play fischer random chess over chess-servers. is this possible somewhere ? maybe bobby fischer could like to play over internet on those servers. since he is only playing HIS chess. best wishes Thorsten czub
