Why is it acceptable to mutilate classical chess with something called Fischer Random Chess but not acceptable to modify this variant of classical chess? I don't see why castling could not be allowed only when the King and one of the rooks are on their "normal" squares which could occur quite often (everytime the Kings are on the e square there is a good possibility one of the rooks will be on the a or h squares.) En Passant is certainly applied to all games but not in all games is this legal move able to be applied. The *only* reason I would support tournaments between computer programs with castling being allowed only when the King and one rook are on their "normal" starting squares is it would be a shame if all current programs were to become obsolete overnight.
