Filemate is great but it doesn't do what we want. In Filemate as in every
other database/chess program you can enter moves in two ways:
1) drag pieces on the board display => moves are generated in a move list
2) type in the algebraic coordinates e2e4 => see above
What we want is the following:
3) type in the numeric coordinates 5254 => moves generated in a move list
as algebraic moves _and_ moves
displayed on the board
That is, the translation has to be done by the program and not by us!
It seems that many programs can generate the moves the other way around.
This is a great challenge for all you programmers out there! Many chess
programs and chess databases are made with cc players in mind. This is
what cc players want in the next upgrade of _your_ program :-)
