Sorry Greg, but that is only one of *several* numbering systems I've seen.
 What I said was that there was no *standard* number system I was aware
of.

To show a mirror position in order to explain why there are technically
only 480 positions if Orthodox Castling is used.

The term 'Chess960' was invent by Hans-Walter Schmitt (chairman of the
Frankfurt Chess Tigers e.V.) after debate over a new name that did not
include Bobby Fischer's name.
