Normal Classical chess engines are not able to castle in FRC, they can only play
FRC by using these 15 FRC positions, in which the king and the rooks are placed
on their “normal” squares (a1, e1, h1, a8, e8, h8). In that special case, the
castling rules in FRC are the same as they are in normal chess. That makes
castling for all classical engines possible and they can play these 15 FRC
positions as in real FRC Chess.


1st. Download the limited frc15.pgn positions from:
http://www.beepworld.de/members53/frc-list/ into C:\Documents and
Settings\default\My Documents\ChessBase\Books

2nd. set up an engine vs engine match and under Define option make sure that the
book options under use book is NOT checked, for non of the two engines that you
selected.

3rd. Click the Openings DB underneath the Define option and select frc15.pgn in
the File Name block -> Click on Open.

4th. Finally select your Time Control and make sure that you don't use any of
the X=Y option like 4min+2s if you are going to play with Chess Tiger 15 CB.
