There are some important differences between FRC and Shuffle Chess, see: [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/fullchess6_e.html] . It is very important for the Fischer Random Chess to have asymmetric castling rules. Because of that MIRRORED starting positions lead to DIFFERENT games unlike in Shuffle chess. This is related to the original nature of chess game and enriches the possibilities of Fischer random Chess. Regards, Reinhard
