题目: A thought.

When a person picks up a Fischer Random game from the waiting games board, he is allowed to see the positioning of the pieces before deciding to accept the game. As the person creating the game has no option which position he gets, might it be more fair leave the position a blank before acceptance as to discourage "Window Shopping"? I have no doubts the positions are all equal, otherwise Fischer would have had nothing to do with the game, let alone have created it, but just in the name of fairness, which has a nice name btw. = )

bobwhoosta:
Hello, thanks for your opinions about FRC. I agree with you in most cases. Yes openings are destroying chess at the highest level but beginers dont feel that. You also claimed that all starting positions are equal. I must correct you - they are not equal at all (use Fritz 10). In some positions white has quite big advantage (unluckily it is also classical chess position). So there is a rule how to make the game absolutely balanced: as a white I make first move and then you decide which colour you want to play. So one has to be very careful in making first move. Eg. 1.e4 is very strong move so most players should take it - but if you make b3, c3 - the game is very fairplay.
This should be widely applied in FRC - the perfect game of chess is created...
With regards ---Endorfin

Endorfin: Because of the fact, that a Chess960 (FRC) starting position is created just immediately before the first move has to be made, theoretically existing advantages of one side do not at all have that value as in traditional chess, where the positions have been analysed for centuries. Thus there is no need to change the basic chess rules at all. Regards - Reinhard.
