(I haven't tried Arena >so I don't now how it handles this.) Good question! I have made up my mind on this when talking last week on a possible advantage of the white side in FRC, whether it might be greater than in normal chess or not. Thinking over this I finally was convinced, that the clock has to be switched on immediately after the board has been set up. I do not know this moment, how Arena handles this. But I think, that question is more relevant when two human beings are playing a game of FRChess. Regards, Reinhard
