Can someone please explain FEN to me? Here's a simple example below. I understand the chessboard position, which is simple Forsythe notation. I also understand that the "w" stands for white to move, while "b" would be black to move. But I don't know what the remaining items mean, nor exactly how they should be formatted. Thanks... WP 4k3/8/8/8/8/4K3/4P3/8 w - - 01 In case this gets automatically translated into an actual chessboard diagram on this forum, here is the same FEN substituting a period (.) for the forward slashes (/): 4k3.8.8.8.8.4K3.4P3.8 w - - 01
