no you are not right, the starting position say where the king is and the rooks. if the king move to f1 and then will castle from f1g1, then this is not a castle move, this is a normal king move.

yes, very easy, even the king is allready on g1, the move is g1g1 !

winboard F does support FRC with option /variant=fisherrandom

And we are n...
