Hi Stefan, it is very intersting to see engines having a very different behaviour when playing FRC games. But conventional engines cannot at all represent the currend development of FRC aware engines. So it does not make any sense to declare an engine because of your test to be the best FRC engine. This is like declaring the winner of a 100 meter sprint to be the world decathlon champion. There are 960 FRC starting positions, and it would be very contraproductive to the development of FRC aware engines, when discriminating the existing three FRC engines [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/Fullchess5_e.html] (bottom) by comparing them to professional non-FRC engines. So you may call it Micro-FRC tournament to avoid such unecessary confusions, but not FRC tournament. Even any traditional game of chess is an FRC game, because Fischer Random Chess is an upper set to chess. But it is absolutly misleading to claim the current computer chess champion to be the real FRC champion too. So please think it over. Regards, Reinhard
