Another question is Programs that used to be good at standard chess are not
automatically the best at Chess960 or FRC. Here is a good example Pharaon 3.3is
probably 50 rating points higher at standard chess than Gothmog or Glaurung:

   Engine       Score   Ph      Gl                            S-B
1: Glaurung-frc 15.5/29 ······ 1011000=011001111=0100101=011  209.25
2: Pharaon      13.5/29 0100111=100110000=1011010=100 ······  209.25
