It was totally clear. In fact, the king and rook were on their normal squares, so there was nothing tricky about it at all.

I tried it too and it doesn't work... likely a bug.

I think it might be something that will come with the new board interface that Russ is releasing in beta form soon.

Like I say, true FisherRandom isn't supported by RHP. FR without castling isn't FR.
Mr Gambit is of course right in this.

If anyone is of another opinion, please submit a FR game, with [gid]game number[/gid], where castling actually works, and I will happily fold.

At one period I was very interested in FR, but I didn't want to play with only a subset of rules. The interest faded, and now I'm not really interested to play FR at all.
