I am familiar with pgn, but not really with FEN. >Is there a place to read about it? I don't understand the notation. The rules are quite simple. Let's analyze the line posted by Enrique. The first 8/ means "eight blank squares on the top row, go to the next row" 1k4p1/ means "one blank, black king, four blanks, black pawn, one blank, next row" 3pP3 means "three blanks, black pawn, white Pawn, three blanks" pP5P means "black pawn, white Pawn, five blanks, white Pawn" 8 means "eight blanks" and so on... So the basics are: small letters stand for black pieces capital letters stand for white pieces numbers stand for blank squares and slashes indicate going to the next row Then you indicate which player is to move... And that's it. Cheers, Gustavo.
