I also appreciate the kind way you respond to this and other postings I have made. You appear to be quite a nice guy - and an intelligent one, too! I have to tell you that I just purchased my first computer about three weeks ago, and my first chess software as well; henceforth, I am not familiar with the many features available with Fritz 5.32, Rebel 10, and my favorite, Hiarcs 7.01 - although I really enjoy the Fritz interface, except for the Hash Table info which requires a smaller board. I have been using short algebraic for a long time and I'm very comfortable with it. I don't mind setting up the pieces using the set-up feature on my chess software, or my dedicated chess computers which don't get anymore use and are just gathering dust! I truly enjoy evaluating positions on different chess programs and find short algeraic easy to look at and apply. I will have to learn FEN or else not make full use of the interesting positions available. I just haven't as yet had the time to study FEN - but will do so soon. However, I do believe that for the majorty of members, short algeraic is more readily understood. Therefore, I would submit my positions for analysis using short algebraic which can be easily understood by all. Kind regards, Mel
