I don't like FRC

I ran my first game using Shredder classic gui

It was a blitz game between two version of shredder as a test

The position had to be setup first and engine match started

and only the first game was frc

The second game reverted to a regular chess setup

No books used so the engine even in a 3 min game have to think about the
first move

Shredder opened with e3

I dont see the enjoyment and can't imagine playing a game at a time
where each game starting position must be selected before game starts

To be honnest I do not envision running any FRC matches
