- 1) Piece placement (from white's perspective). Each rank is described, starting with rank 8 and ending
- with rank 1; within each rank, the contents of each square are described from file A through file H.
- Following the Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN), each piece is identified by a single letter taken
- from the standard English names. White pieces are designated using upper-case letters ("PNBRQK")
- while Black take lowercase ("pnbrqk"). Blank squares are noted using digits 1 through 8 (the number
