These are indeed helpful observations - I neglected the opening phase, as I thought, the opening book is sufficient. Well, this is obviously wrong. If Aristarch comes out of the opening 1) without castling or 2) without having its pieces developed this may result in suboptimal play, because it plays as if it had castled and had its pieces developed. So I will do something here. Regards, Stefan
