A quote from Arena Help File: "There are currently no engines that fully support Fischer Random Chess. The problem lies in the correct execution and recognition of the extended castling move. Therefore an appeal to all engine programmers: Support Fischer Random Chess! Arena transmits and receives the castling moves in Fischer chess (and only there!) always in the form "O-O" for h-side castling or "O-O-O" for a-side castling (the letter 'O' is used, not the number '0').This applies to the Winboard and UCI communication."
