Most programmers did follow him, ignoring now having multiple different representations of identic positions and moreover being forced to unnecessarily switch engine modes between Chess960 and standard chess. A lot of Chess960 supporting databases and online servers, already for long supporting X-FEN, have been frustrated by that without any need. Find also a German language description of X-FEN at the bottom of: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-FEN Regards, Reinhard.
