Hi Matthias,

simply take the SP-518. This Chess960 starting array is also well known as the
initial position for traditional chess. As far as I know, this position has been
written as "rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1".
This is a popular example for what I do call a standard.

But Shredder-FEN is breaking with that well established tradition. And now you
are trying to convince me, that its incompatibility should be "standard"? Never!

Reinhard.
