Powerful.

  • EDIT: I changed my initial rating. At first I thought it didn’t allow for starting a PGN with an FEN. I was wrong. Thanks for helping, yo35.

    It turns out one of my other problems besides not putting in [SetUp “1”] at the beginning and putting a result (*, 1 – 0, 0 – 1, etc.) was that I was using null moves which do not seem to be supported by RPB.

    RPB is very powerful with a few tiny nitpicks:

    *Doesn’t recognize null moves.
    *Can’t change pieces easily.
    *Can’t change turn signal easily.
    *Can’t change notation figurine font easily.

    The last three are very minor and can be changed manually (I believe). The null moves is a hurdle for me since I use them a lot but they’re probably not used by most of the chess world.

    RPB is extremely powerful and beautiful.

    You CAN begin begin a PGN game at a specific position:

    [pgn]
[Event "Endgame example"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "k7/n1PB4/1K6/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 50"]

{[pgndiagram]}

50.Bc6+ Nxc6 51.c8=Q+ Nb8 52.Qb7# 1-0
[/pgn]

    (this is the standard PGN syntax, as it is exported by chess database softwares)

    I’m so sorry, yo35!

    I tested it on some pages of mine and it didn’t work. I wonder what happened? I use null moves a lot (–) and maybe that’s what made it not work?

    I put this in the feature request as well. Please delete it. I’m going to work on the pages where I had a problem in about an hour and then I’ll come back and report what happened if anything.

    I updated my rating and comments and also edited my github feature request.

    Sorry about the initial confusion.
