FEN

The Forsyth-Edwards Notation is a standard for describing chess positions using the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character set. It is intended as a standard position notation for chess programmers, for page layout programs and for confirming position status for e-mail competition. Six FEN fields specify the piece placement, the active colour, the castling availability, the en passant target square, the half-move clock and the full-move number. The first four fields of the FEN specification are the same as the first four fields of the closely related EPD specification. Like FEN, EPD can also be used for general position description. However, unlike EPD, FEN is not as expandable. FEN provides no means to add new operations that provide new functionality as needs arise. A text file composed exclusively of FEN data records should have a file name with “.fen” as the suffix.

Chess is a game by its form, an art by its content and a science by the difficulty of gaining mastery in it. Chess can convey as much happiness as a good book or work of music can. However, it is necessary to learn to play well and only afterwards will one experience real delight. Tigran Petrosian
If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen

After the 2nd game I could have returned to Moscow. There was only one way I could have won this match. Boris Spassky (1974)
My style is based on giving energy and creating. Karpov’s style is something that is probably taking energy from his opponent. NIC 1989 Garry Kasparov

I’ve got no regrets about the games themselves, as frankly I’ve never been narcissistic about my play. Alexander Grischuk
