I think that you are aggresive against Reinhard for no reason. It seems that there is some misunderstanding and I do not understand what is Reinhard's problem but I am sure that he is a good programmer. I do not see how Shredder's notation in FRC that is not the same in regular chess can cause problems that cannot be solved by a converter and convince Reinhard to leave FRC chess. I think that it may be good to ask Stefan simply to support both X-FEN and Shredder's FEN when the user can choose between them. Uri
