(I would support only one char numbers and >therfore /91/ for an empty line or skipping trailing free squares in a row. Empty fields ============ Both options // or /10/ violates against the specification. Section 16.1.4 "Empty squares are represented by the digits one through eight"; Both versions have advantages and disadvantages. I prefer more the 2nd personally but I can live with both. I hope the specication can be changed into something like: "Empty squares are represented by a number > 0"; The AC option ============= The AC option also violates according to the specification 16.1.6 "The third field represents castling availability. This indicates potential future castling that may of may not be possible at the moment due to blocking pieces or enemy attacks".
