Indeed, the Frog on b/g was a big problem, because of 1. Fg4 threatening g7 (which is also under attack by the Banshee) and 2. Fh5 with an attack on the Rook. With the Frogs in the corners there doesn't seem to be a problem, though. FIDE seems to be losing big time, for sure, but the score usually stays flat until move 20-30, and then he suddenly loses a minor or Rook vs Pawn, and it is a done deal. So I don't think it is an opening problem. My guess is the Banshee is just too dangerous tactically, and leaving anything unprotected when the board population starts to thin, is fatal.

This is the game definition I am currently using in the fmax.ini file:
