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
