I send you a nice program. The name is Chessy for Windows. If you use Chessy, then you can send and recive a ASCII string and Chessy creats a graphic chess diagram. Peoples quickly looks the position of the e-mail-game. How: If you whant to creat the string: You enter Chessy and creat the position on the board (EDIT->Neu or Ctrl+N ; or EDIT->EDITMODE ...). When you are ready then click "Export". Now the String is in the Clippboard. You can copy it in your e-mail or other documents. If you recive a Chessy-String you have to copy it into the Clippboard and then you enter Chessy and now click "Import". Now you have the position on the Chessy-diagram. Example: 1.e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4... And the ASCII-String: Tigran: WB E5D4F4A2B2C2G2H2;WS C3G1;WL C1F1;WT A1H1;WD D1;WK E1; SB A7B7C7F7G7H7E6D5;SS B8D7;SL C8F8;ST A8H8;SD D8;SK E8; Chessy 0.8 CP Sorry, my English isn't good. Best wishes Hans.
