Point! Franz, if it would help you: it is not the fault of your tool. But fact is, that on Shredders side there are *two* FENs for *one* position. Ant thus there could not be bidirectional converting functions, full stop. And if you would not like ANCIENT (what am I then?) X-FEN then take another extended FEN, but COMPATIBLE to traditional chess AND already existing applications (at least concerning Chess960 starting positions). If SMK would have accepted some of my proposed compromises, we would neither have acient (but compatible) X-FEN nor the incompatible Shredder-FEN. Reinhard.
