"DarkThought" currently uses capital letters for all pieces and adds a leading
asterisk "*" for black ones. Moreover, I prefer compact files and ranks without
any delimiters between them. Dark squares are marked by colons ":" that shine
through at the sides if a piece is placed on them. See below for an example.

  +------------------------+
1 |   :K: R :::   :::   :::|
2 |:::   :::   :::   :P: P |
3 |   :P:   :Q:   :::   :::|
4 |:::   :N: P :::   *P:   |
5 |   :::   ::: P :::   *P:|
6 |*Q:   :::   *P: P :::   |
7 |   :::*R :::   *P:   :::|
8 |*K:   :::   :::   :::*R |
