What is so hard for you FRC fanatics to understand about this? If an engine can
play legal FRC, then it can play legal FRC, period. If it never castles, that
doesn't mean it doesn't play FRC. Pretty simple to me.

If you and I play a game of FRC, and I choose to never castle, but I still win,
are you going to say, "You didn't play legal FRC!"? No, that is ridiculous. That
is like if you asked me to play a game of chess, and I beat you, and then you
declare that you have won by the rules of "losers chess".
