(With color/piece letters please; sticking with ASCII for >now.) I haven't got the a clue what the O is supposed to stand for in dutch (nederlands). The dutch word for pawn (pion) conflicts with the knight (Paard). I only know 2 solutions: 1) use p and P 2) Use a B for pawn, comes from the oldfashion name, Boer ( Farmer ), wich goes nice together with the other medieval naming. I know of no (common) name for a pawn that starts with an O. ( Maybe offermaterial ( Sacrificial material ) wich is close to pawn ;) Tony
