A program which plays only legal moves and accepts all legal moves from the opponent (and here you are right, here the programmes have to add code) and does score best is the champion. This can be achieved by a program which does not consider certain legal moves. All programs which can play shuffle chess can play all 960 FRC positions (at least with some help of the GUI to let them accept the castlings by their opponents). This does not exclude the wishful fact, that it would be interesting if many programmers would include full FRC-Support. Aristarch does not consider underpromotions nevertheless it can play normal chess. regards Joachim
