Yes.. I'm not intolerant. All the best for Chess960. I just wanted to give a realistic opinion (from an overall viewpoint), why the Fritz GUI most probably won't support it very soon. The main effect of Chess960, destroying the human advantage of memory (opening experience and opening theory), is achieved by shuffle chess as well. But it offers 2,880 positions, not just 960. When you go one step further removing w/b symmetry, it can offer 2,880^2 = 8,294,400 different starting positions. Why limit the idea to 960 positions, when 8.3 million are available? Steve
