To Frank Quisinski tester of Ruffian 2.0, is Fischer Random Chess implemented with Ruffian 2.0? I remember reading this interview about 8 months ago: 17. Interview team: At the present time a lot of people talk about FullChess (Fisher Random Chess, Chess960, Shuffle Chess) which has gained a lot of popularity. In Mainz (Germany) a big GM-match was played this year using it. The freeware-GUI "Arena" supports the possibilities to play FullChess but at the moment no engine supports the special castling-rules at FullChess. Do you plan to implement FullChess to Ruffian? Ben Bursik (DGT projects), Martin Blume (Arena), Reinhard Scharnagl (Smirf) and Eric van Reem (CSVN) work on FullChess for a longer time already. Do you think that FullChess will give new aspects to computer chess programming because of the new possibilities to test engines without the influence of an opening book etc.? We expect that there is a big interest in users as well for FullChess. Per-Ola Valfridsson (Ruffian): I have plans to implement Fisher Random Chess. As far as I understand, the only difference is the castling rules.
