No, there needn't be any rules checking. The PGN parser could accept anything, e.g. 5.Xg1-c7. In this way all variants are supported. It would be great to have such a tool. Then people could begin to analyse chess variants, using text comments. In the PGN header one must introduce a board-type tag (e.g. BOARDTYPE 5). See the PGN standard here: http://www.tim-mann.org/Standard The chess variant PGN standard would accept M, X, Z, R, etc., as piece denominators. One needn't have special gifs for every piece. One could have generic gifs, too. The program should be open license so that people also can use it for commercial purposes (e.g. create chess variant CD:s). /Mats Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Javascript cv does not match any item.
