Sam, in fact not in this thread, I repeatedly have tried to investigate details of 'free castling', which still is not quite clear to me. Maybe caused by the fact, that my mother language is german, I am still interested in some clarifications: e.g. whether the King always has to move at least two steps or not, which would be the outermost target fields, whether the Rook always has to be placed beside of the castled King or not, and what would be the recommended notation e.g. O-c-O (?). Such missing information unfortunately prevented me from implementing related variants into SMIRF.
