Wrong. The GUI would have to support FRC in a way that Winboard and UCI engines
would understand. Instead of sending the move that the opponent played, the GUI
would send the FEN string, and Ruffian would never reject any move (because
there wouldn't be any moves, only FEN positions).

So the statement that all WB/UCI engines can play legal FRC is true. Whether or
not there is a GUI that supports that method of playing is irrelevant, because
one could be created without too much work.
