Argomento: Smirf + Janus + Capablanca Random

Hi all 10x8 interested people,

I just have decided that Smirf will also support Janus Chess with its different symmetric castlings. This will extend the FEN string slightly the way I have suggested with an additional 's' for to state the presence of symmetric castlings. In that case also an Archbishop 'A' will be displayed as Janus 'J'. The FEN string then looks like the following one:

rjnbkqbnjr/pppppppppp/0/0/0/0/PPPPPPPPPP/
RJNBKQBNJR w sKQkq - 0 1

The Capablanca Random Chess also demands for Archbishop and Queen to be placed on different colored squares and for the avoiding of uncovered pawns. Thus about 21000 positions will result.

Reinhard.
