Hi, I would like to play Chess960 in Scid vs. PC but the feature is not worked on as i understand it. I'm trying to understand where the limitation really is.
Given you have a chess engine that supports Chess960, like stockfish, and you configure the engine to work in Chess960 mode. If you would present the engine with a 'normal'/default start position. Wouldn't the Chess960 configured engine still adhere to all the chess rules including castling? The 'normal' start position is one of several valid Chess960 start positions, right? I wanted to try this last night but the UCI_Chess960 UCI config option for Stockfish was not presented in the UI so i couldn't tick the box. Any special reason why this option is being neglected? If i'm correct, I guess this would mean that as long as Scid vs. PC can generate valid Chess960 start positions and the engine can be configured to play according to Chess960 rules, no further changes to Scid vs. PC would be necessary. We could play Chess960 in Scid vs. PC... Am i missing something? // Patrik
