An additional note, which I will add to the text of the page itself at some point, when we finish discussing modern Marseilleas:
The concept of an FEN Notation needs to be updated for Marseillais Chess. ChessV can load/save an FEN for any game, so I needed to decide how to enhance FEN for Marseillais. The only part that needs to be expanded is the part that records the side on the move - typically "w" or "b". I add the additional options of "w2" for white on-the-move with two moves still to make and "b2" for black on-the-move with two moves still to make. I like this alteration in part because the starting position for a (balanced) game still has the same FEN as orthodox chess.
