The current public version will without a doubt do better at classical chess.
The FRC code was a very quick hack, written in about 15 minutes.  I added
the FRC castling rules (with one little bug, as it turned out), and nothing
else.  The evaluation function makes several assumptions which are simply
not valid in FRC, and therefore seriously misevaluates many FRC positions.

The next version, which should be available early next week, will be more
balanced.  I expect it to play FRC and classical chess equally badly.
