I don't know comp-human statistics from fischer random, or from shuffle chess games. There have been a few GM shuffle chess games, i.e. Yussupov against a program. I think the usual chess server statistic will be an opponent mix (unless the player plays only comps or only humans). From playing shuffle chess at Chess.Net, I know that shuffle-inexperienced human players overlook easy things at move no. 1 astonishingly often (simple threat which are impossible in standard chess). Here is a graphical hint: http://meineseite.i-one.at/PermanentBrain/oldies2/shuffle.gif Of course, this is no problem for a progam. But I would expect that it is more visible in shuffle chess, if the program has much (or not so much) knowledge for the early opening. - Because, I think most general opening rules (developement, don't bring the queen out too early, don't block pawns you need to advance to develop, etc.) apply to shuffle chess as well. Maybe this gives humans a small advantage, if the program doesn't handle the early opening well. But OTOH this advantage will be much smaller, compared to the situation when the human plays against a program without opening book from the standard position. Regards, M.Scheidl
