Hi

i doubt wheter all engines support Shuffle chess......
i know only a few engines(EL Baron,Hermann,Betsy etc)support FRC

i like any kind of chess,Ruffian plays Shuffle chess but crafty doesnt

some play,some dont

i want all programs play from different start position

thanks to your work in FRC!
