Ed, using this protocol pieces can initially be placed AS THE GUI WANTS, as long
as compatible with the engine awarenesses. So the GUI can provide any shuffled
position like those used in FRC or - if you like - in the Janus Chess starting
position. But castling rules (end positions) have to be consistant as described
in my latest posting.
