I use a slightly modified Crafty layout:

  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
8 |*r |*n |*b |*q |*k |*b |*n |*r |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
7 |*p |*p |*p |*p |*p |*p |*p |*p |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
6 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
5 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
4 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
3 |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
2 | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
1 | R | N | B | Q | K | B | N | R |
  +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
    a   b   c   d   e   f   g   h
    (position: w KQkq - 0 1)

The black pieces are in lower case and in the middle.
And there is a little bit of FEN like extra information.
