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.
