This notation is very common here: you're better off learning to read it, or at
least having a program that accepts it as input.  How do I interpret a "FEN"
string is somewhat of a FAQ, so there is hopefully something in the FAQ area
here on CCC.

black: lower case, white: upper case.  start from a8-h8, then a7-h7, etc.
number indicates skipped squares.

there are 5 flags at the end, two of which are missing (i dunno why)

what is there indicates white to move, and neither side can castle either way.
