Each set of numbers/letters between the // marks is a rank on the chessboard. The first is the 8th rank and starts from left to right. the 6k1 means --6 empty squares,k=black king, and 1=1 empty square. So the black pieces are represented by lower case letters and the white pieces are represented by uppercase letters. Usually a letter at the end b or w indicates who is on the move. The /8/ on the fourth rank indicates no pieces on that rank of course. Give it a try :>) Jim Walker
