Subject: SetUp and FEN tags in PGN data

Let me remind all again to use the SetUp and FEN tags in (non standard) PGN
files, see: http://www.very-best.de/pgn-spec.htm#9.7 . It applies for a lot of
variants like Chess960, Corner Chess, 10x8 Capablanca variants ... That would be
e.g. for Gothic Chess (patented by Ed Trice):

[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQCKABNR w KQkq - 0 1"]
(but no linebreak within the FEN target)

Please note, that since a while I suggest for 10x8 variants to use "10" to
encode ten empty spaces instead of using "0". That is because of becoming more
compatible with the growing FFEN proposal. Smirf and the FullChess FEN-Editor
still would accept the old form but actually always create the new.

Reinhard.
