Hi Jorge,

to set up FRC positions there exists a freeware FullChess FEN Editor
at [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/fullchess7_e.html] (english/german),
which can also help to visualize position images.

FRC positions together with their castling rights and e.p. potential
are NOT always encodable by traditional FEN. Therefore that editor
introduces a slighty extended FRC-FEN, which is fully downwards
compatible to all conventional chess positions. This FRC-FEN is
explained at [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/fullchess5_e.html] (english/german).

Please do not forget, that today still only three engines exist, which are
FRC aware. Overmore there still are some problems to accept all FRC-FEN
positions correctly even in Arena GUI, which is a wonderfull FRC enabling
pioneer in the world of GUIs.

Reinhard
