Knightx can play Fischer random chess. But the castling is not handled correctly if the king or a rook are not on their classical square.
I will handle this case in a future release. Knightx 3.6 is not testing anymore some patterns around the king, and handles better the king safety of an uncastled king, so it is better for frc.
