I later had some misgivings, but mainly because somehow people have found it difficult to program in rules-enforcing presets or maybe other software - yet Wildebeest Chess and Fischer Random rules enforcing presets have both been programmed in the past.

The option to move only one space in Wildebeest has definitely made it harder to program.  Fairy-Max, for example, doesn't allow a single-space move.  ChessV does allow it, but if you do it and save the game it won't restore correctly (will be fixed in the next version.)  I'm adding support for fast castling to ChessV now which is why I'm raising the question.  I think it is still early enough to change it, if you are so inclined.

FRC, incidently, is a different beast - it uses "O-O" and "O-O-O" notation since this is unique.
