Hello,
I'm almost done with Chess Tags. However I have some questions on the format. I currently allow SAN and the old style GL ToFrom format.
Questions
- How do you promote in the GL ToFrom format? I just implemented =<piece> (a7a8=Q, to promote to queen...)
- What is the syntax to simply add a piece in the old GL tags? I would use <piece><*|'><square>, but that is just because I play Shogi. (ex. Q*a2 to place a Q on a2...)
- Syntax to remove a piece? I'd probably do <-><square>
- On the GL, we had a user "Chess" that people would use, but it's not as easy to switch user on this forum. Any ideas on the logistics to use these tags?
ToDo:
- Flag to start with empty board
- Flag to enforce rules or not (currently movement rules are enforced)
- Piece drops/removals
Starting FEN
- Add Player Names

The syntax for add-a-piece was WP@a2. This syntax was usually used for promotions, as well: a7a8 WQ@a8.
It's surprising that I would remember this, considering that I hate chess. 
*edit* I forgot that the pieces have COLOURS!

1. I don't ever remembering promoting in any of my games. My natural tendency would be =Q though.
2/3. That's fine with me.
4. Well, I think there should be something added to replying/editing anyway where you can put in username/password and post under a different name. That would solve this problem, but I don't know how hard it would be to do. The other obvious way would be to add a field telling who else can edit your post. |

When you can see the board, you'll know Chess tags work.  |

What are SAN and FEN?
Oh, and this is one reason why I, like mith, have suggested putting a username/password field on the "edit" and "reply" screens so people can change their login there. |

SAN: Short Algebraic Notation is a method of recording a game.
FEN: Forsyth-Edwards Notation is a method for recording a game state. (doesn't include moves, just the position of the board, if castling is allowed on each side, if there is an en passant square, etc.)

It's not perfect, but it's a start... Check out the news forum for more details.

The reg_exp issue was a bug. I was fixing something and wound up screwing it up. I'll fix it now.
As to the variant, I'll look at it in a minute.

Wow, so regular expressions suddnely turned on their ear! There was one bug that I injected (deleted an "s"). But somehow the escaping of quotes is not working in php...
SO... for now, the FEN tag must not have the quotes.
