I don't understand why so many people find this is so hard to understand, but before I give up I will try to give one very simple concrete example. Consider the following two positions: [d]rnbqnkrb/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQNKRB w GAga - 0 1 [d]brknqbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/BRKNQBNR w HBhb - 0 1 In the first position, 1. O-O is a legal first move for white. In the second position, white cannot castle in the first move. Therefore, the two positions cannot be said to be functionally equivalent. Tord
