Anyway, some changes are necessary and compulsory for all engines that want to play in FRC competitions. There are two options: 1) recognize opponents FRC castlind and be able to do it 2) only recognize opponents FRC castling and renounce the same move. But I must say something very importante. If we accept a participation of engines that don´t know how to do FRC castling, all comercial engines would try this status, they could create with the time an impression that castling is not necssary, because they win without castling, and compromete the FRC, REDUCING IT FINALY AT THE LEVEL OF SHUFFLE CHESS. It is a dangerour way for FRC fans, and noe we have to take an ideological decision about this problem. SL.
