I'm running xboard-frc now. I used xboard to setup the position, then saved the FEN to a .fen file which I use via -lpf. But it still doesn't seem to let me play the game. I've Glaurung and Baron and both seem to crack. Either they don't move, or give a "varient not supported" error. Hrm... Do you have to have the file with all fen's for 960? or can you just have a file with 1 fen that you want to play? Maybe that's the problem as my 960.fen file only contains 1 entry for the one I want to play. >XBoard-FRC (Anastasios's program) is perhaps a bit more user-friendly, >because it includes a menu item for choosing one of the 960 different >startup positions.

This could be a problem too, I'm using an older version of polyglot, thanks! I'll try this tonight and see if that fixes my problem. >Using XBoard-FRC or XBoard-960, I have been able to play FRC with >AICE, The Baron, Fruit, Glaurung, Gothmog, Homer and Jonny (but >please not that the FRC versions of Baron and Fruit are not yet publicly >available). > >Tord Any thoughts about forwarding a diff of the source tree to Tim Mann? Maybe he can fuse it into the next official release of xboard/winboard. Josh
