Thanks for all these vivid explainataion
But If chess960 has same number of positions as shuffle chess then that would
mean that FRC also has 2 bishops in identical squares.
and ignore the king position and castling rules that many engine programmers
would have to implement some part of the code.

Vast majority of engines support shuffle chess,so It would be a great idea to
test engines on shuffle chess.

Does anyone have tests on shuffle chess?
