It would be nice to play Fischer Random Chess on here (http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/Fischer_Random_Chess.html) , hopefully not as much work as it sounds:
Random board order generator would be required
Castling rules in the move engine would have to be extended, these are compatible with standard rules in the standard start position.
Fisher Random Chess option would have to be added to game creation options.
Initially FRC games should probably be excluded from Ratings.
If FRC games become ratable, the option to back out of a game before the first move might need to be removed for FRC games.

A) SM has "pyramids" -which are better than sieges.
B) SM has chess 960
C) SM gives paying users ability to set up & start mini-tournaments
D) SM gives user "Take Back" feature on analysis board
E) RHP has a better Clan System.
F) RHP has more interesting forums
G) RHP "look" and feel" is better.
H) RHP has bagged the best URLs.
I) Scheming mind gives more benefits to non-paying subscribers
Sorry Russ!
