I tried Fairies vs. FIDE in Fairy-Max, and played about a dozen games, but on a slow computer at bullet speed. Initially FIDE lost everything, but in the end it managed 3 wins as well. Most games seem to be decided by tactical errors, where the score suddenly jumps by nearly a Rook. So maybe the time control is just too fast.

One thing seems clear, though: the array HF,NF,FA,BNN,K,FA,NF,HF is playable against FIDE. With some other setups the Fairies (who always played white) could immediately win a Pawn or even a Rook, due to HF or BNN action.
