Re: Chinese Chess File Format standard

in hope it may be useful for some people.

If you have any new information about that standard / author, please
let me know and many thanks in advance.

In my opinion the FEN notation should be altered more for use in chinese chess. There is no need to have a castling availability or en-passant field so why require the extra code to be aware of them (even if just to ignore them)? The color field could be better customized by using r & b instead of w & b, but that is relatively unimportant.


Also, just what exactly is the 50 move rule as it pertains to chinese chess?

So, there is my feedback.
