Yes. BUT, I would hope that chess enthusiasts would not have to think much about the encoding. Either using a special keyboard layout (momentarily) or using a palette for picking board item by board item seems to be better options. I'm sure someone will make a browser based chess editor, complete with suitable palette, and having an empty board pre-edited to start out (replacing the empty squares as pieces are laid out or moved). /Kent K
