Thanks. > >Groetjes, >Paul The FEN PGN tag is not supported in CM6000. However, loading a FEN text file IS supported. Make a .TXT file with the FEN string in it, for example: q2rr3/1kb3n1/npppNpbp/4NNp1/NNN3P1/1N1NBB2/3K4/8 w - - 0 1 should be the ONLY contents of the file. Make sure it has a TXT extension. Then select Load Game (CTRL+L), and choose to open a File of Type "Forsythe Position" file. Also make sure that the "Open As" section also says "Forsythe Board Position". That should do it. I'm not sure if en passant and castling designators are supported, however.... jm
