Hi Reinhard,
If I understand correctly you claim that it is not possible to translate because
it is not clear if to translate FEN in shredder to position A in X-FEN or
position B in X-FEN(otherwise I see no problem in transaltion).

Can you give an example when position in Shredder's notation can be translated
to 2 different positions in X-FEN when both translations are possible?
