[thechat] chess FEN

[Morgan Kelsey]

for the chessheads:

from the what the heck is that "FEN" thing dept:
http://www.chessville.com/Reference_Center/FEN_Description.htm


i sure wish that site would give you a printout of all games that are "waiting"
for you to move. i think i'm going to write a routine tonight, that i can pass a
text file to.

here's a java toolkit i found, for the java-inclined:

for now, i plan on making the text file by cutting and pasting from those "your
opponent has moved emails". but it'd be way cool to setup a mail just account
for those, and do it all automagically.

*ladies, please stop here, you don't like chess anyway*

it sure would beat reading the newspaper on the crapper in the morning.

mine will probably be in coldfusion.

but i'll probably have to write (or pilfer) a useful array or two, which will
probably be useful if anyone wants to do it in another language.

i think .jeff was fiddling with a JS board, so he probably has an image set. i
also have the chessmaster9000 windows truetype font. if anyone wants it email me
offlist.

anyway, i'll keep all you dweebs posted.
