Hi Volker,

I use:
When UCI_Chess960 is true, send king captures rook,
else if last FEN string was XFEN, send O-O
else send e1g1.

However, neither approach solves the problem I presented.
As long as Arena does not tell UCI engine to switch to FRC, there is no way
the freshly loaded engine will switch to FRC on receiving
"rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1".
(I mean an engine that also plays normal chess).

Best,
Matthias.
