You still have not understood, that there are only 2-3 programs around
at all, which are capable to play really FRC and that there is still
not _any_ GUI yet, which supports FRC in all points.
hint -> FRC castling rules
Therefore only those positions were played in your link example,
when the same King and Rook positions happened as in normal chess,
to simulate a crippled version of FRC...
