Hi Andreas First of all am I to understand that there is no 2 character designation for a pawn move, say e4?? Or is it only legal since it does not involve a capture or is this not considered standard? Listen I thought I had the doc on the PGN/SAN standard but judging by what you have stated perhaps I dont have the complete/thorough report. Can you tell me where I might find this? I would appreciate it and thanks for your help. > >There is a possible ambiguity in the following position: >[D]4k3/8/8/2pP4/3P4/8/8/4K3 w - c6 > >One should think that dxc5 is ambigous here, but the PGN/SAN standard states >that the en passant capture of the c5 pawn should be given as dxc6 ! > >Best regards >Andreas Stabel
