The castling rules are not at all strange. The resulting positions of castling
king and rook are identical to those in normal chess.

So classical chess is completely included in FRC as one of 960 posible starting
positions. Therefore Fischer Random Chess is not any chess variant but the fully
completing set of all possibilities of the chess game idea and its rules.
