Go up one level in this thread


The new Chess960 world champion Spike has published its CCM 2005 games in a to
be preferred PGN file fully downwards compatibly using X-FEN: see for X-FEN
proposal: http://www.chessbox.de/xfen_e.html - a very welcomed decision!

The WMNC itself actually has published all games of this event in a very strange
own PGN variation, omitting the necessary tag [SetUp "1"] and cropping the FEN
of used starting positions into an own WNCA-FEN by not encoding color, castling
flags, e.p. square, etc. - merely supplying the leading piece list alone.

Shredder continues to use its incompatible SMK-FEN invention. See a comparision
