Shredder is not nevertheless because of the stupidity of other programs or notionless humans to make responsible! With me Shredder plays no castling with the wrong positions, also the FEN looks anyhow when copying differently. That one can insert x-arbitrary one (also wrong) startpositions into a program, are normal, then however play the program Shuffle Chess, or otherwise something. If one draws according to the rules a Chess960 position out, then one has no problems with Shredder also. And: who cannot do that, better Chess960 should to stop to play want, if necessary he is to call off also Mainz 2005. Because: against stupidity no herb grew, and onto Shredder to push keep the debt completely inappropriate I by you. Look for the debt at people the Chess960 do not understand because it for it are too stupid. Thanks! German: Du siehst wieder Probleme wo keine sind. Shredder ist doch nicht wegen der Dummheit anderer Programme oder ahnungslosen Menschen, verantwortlich zu machen! Bei mir spielt Shredder jedenfalls keine Rochade bei den falschen Stellungen, auch das FEN sieht beim Kopieren anders aus. Dass man x-Beliebige (auch falsche) Startstellungen in ein Programm einfügen kann, ist normal, dann aber spielt das Programm Shuffle Chess, oder sonst etwas. Lost man laut den Regeln eine Chess960 Position aus, so hat man mit Shredder auch keine Probleme. Und: wer das nicht kann, sollte besser aufhören Chess960 spielen zu wollen, notfalls soll er auch Mainz 2005 absagen. Denn: gegen Dummheit ist kein Kraut gewachsen, und die Schuld auf Shredder zu schieben halte ich völlig unangebracht von dir. Suche die Schuld bei Leuten die Chess960 nicht verstehen weil sie zu dumm dafür sind. Danke! Eduard.
