I really don´t need any help, Reinhard! ;-) >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. I always thought you are a programmer - but now I´m really in doubt about it! Do you really want to say that it´s impossible to convert both following strings "rqbnkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RQBNKBNR w KQkq -" and "rqbnkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RQBNKBNR w HAha -" into the first one, i.e. into X-FEN? Have you ever heard about an ´IF´ statement? It exists in ´C´, ´Pascal´, even in ´Basic´ ... ;-) Do you need an example in natural language? "IF CastleTag is ´HAha´ THEN convert it to ´KQkq´ ELSE do nothing!" I hope, I could help improving your programming skills ... :-) Franz.
