I don't do a lot of position testing, so this is a little foggy, but... b = black to move - = white can no longer castle - = black can no longer castle 0 1 = Not sure. This doesn't always appear. Possibly "win for black"? Also: bm e4 = in a test suite, the best move that the person to play is supposed to find. id "gameid";= an identifier to show the source of the position. For example, the following is position #6 from the book "Win At Chess": 7k/p7/1R5K/6r1/6p1/6P1/8/8 w - - bm Rb7; id "WAC006"; If someone can confirm/correct the 0 1 interpretation, please do. As I said, that part was a guess. Rob Pope
