Go up one level in this thread


What happens if you start your notation with a capital "P" in proper long-hand
notation for Pawn. e.g., Pd5xc6 ?
Also, which notational preferences have you indicated in options-- the problem
might be notation-preference-specific as the issue is parsing type.

PS. did you notice the photos of the melody amber blind chess match set-up this
year. gm players entered their blindfold moves on computer while staring at an
empty board. Those are not good blindfold practices in my opinion--looking at
any board is a crutch.
