ThrillerFan: Thanks for your comment. Strictly speaking, it doesn't guarantee that best moves will be the same (even in the case of symmetrical rooks!). This is cuz the pseudo-symmetry doesn't exchange short and long castlings. In your example, the short castling in QBBRNKNR will give *****RK* but U can't obtain *KR***** with the long castling in the pseudo-symmetrical RNKNRBBQ.
Correct.
And also, where do you get that RNKNRBBQ castles to *KR*****? King moves 2 squares. Hence in a case like NRKQBBNR, if you castle to the left, the Rook wouldn't even move, the King would just jump the b-Rook to a1.
So shouldn't your example be KR******, not *KR*****, in the case of RNKNRBBQ?
