Thankyou in advance, Terry This is how you workout Forsyth Notation 1. The pieces are represented by letters, White pieces are Capital Letters, Black are are the small case letters 2. The Number represent empty squares on the board. 3. the / mean that it is the end of the row 4. The way you set up a board is as follows Start at the top left square, then go to the right till the end of the row, then proceed to the line below and follow the same method. At the end of the notation line you will notice a (W) or a (B) indicating whether its is black or white to move. So for a brand New game, with pieces at their starting position, the notation would look like this rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/pppppppp/RNBQKBNR/ - - W
