Because FRC includes chess, just like the World >includes Europe. :) It is easy to define a game that includes FRC and after you do it you can develop a program for this game and call it the world champion. One possibility is to decide that you choose 3 random pieces in the last rank that you can castle with them(the case when the pieces are king and rooks is only one private case of many cases). I do not accept it. I think that you need minimal number of participants to consider some tournament as a world championship. If there are only 3 or 4 engines that implement FRC then I cannot take the world championship seriously. Uri
