Normal Classical chess engines are not able to castle in FRC, they can only play
FRC by using these 15 FRC positions, in which the king and the rooks are placed
on their “normal” squares (a1, e1, h1, a8, e8, h8). In that special case, the
castling rules in FRC are the same as they are in normal chess. That makes
castling for all classical engines possible and they can play these 15 FRC
positions as in real FRC Chess.
