Two questions more or less. How could it be coded in your view then, that you
can see in the headers which sort of game you are dealing with. And second, but
this is perhaps a question that shows my own stupidity. What is this when I use
FRITZ in ChessBase as engine, when the notation is screwed up with sort of Xx
letters. I repeat, it's the exact letter "X". This is when something is wrong
against the rules in the moves before? I dont know exactly the rules of 960Chess
but could it be that I have already such games in my database and I don't know
it? Last one: How would you propose a solution for Eduard, who wants to differ
at the instant the two sorts of games? Not that I wanted to seperate the two
sorts because for me the middle game is more interesting than openings, and I
wouldn't care if the positions were similar but hat their origin in the
different variants of chess. - If all that is boring for you please give me
certain links. Thanks.
