This will keep me busy for some time. I was under the impression that the CB engines knew the rules of FRC. I now know they don't. Using the 15 FRC positions you provided that have the king and rooks in classical chess positions so a non-FRC program can use normal castling rules I see is only way to test them. Interesting too are the free Winboard engines that know the FRC rules. Thanks again. Chris
