I really don't think so. In FRC they must not concentrate so much on the opening
preparation. The creativity AT the board counts. Of course some GMs (especially
the masters in preparation) might be weaker in FRC then classic chess. Also for
chess programming FRC isn't bad. Because some start positions test very early
your king safety you get some insights which are not seen that easy in classic
chess. Also it creates interesting games, IMO. E.g. Gambits might work better in
FRC because there is no known theory and the refutations are not so easy to find
on the board, for both engines & humans they might be too deep.

Greets, Thomas
