"In FRC, just before the start of any game, both players' pieces on their respective back rows receive an identical random shuffle, with the prerequisites that one rook has to be on the left and the other rook on the right of the king and, one bishop has to be on a light-colored square and the other on a dark square. White and Black have identical positions. In FRC there are 960 starting positions, the classical chess starting position plus 959 others. " will this cause a lot of trouble for the computers? certainly storage of 960 times the space is easy enough. it is ony a matter of time before the data is calculated - then they will cream us much more easily than in normal chess!
