On this note, I will agree with the this comment: That a FEN is a better
way to store a game state, but there is also a need to be able communicate
a game move or series of game moves.  If this is what I said, I would agree
to it, and believe that both need to be worked on.  I believe we need both
an extended FEN, and a reworking of PGN so that it is more universal.

If this is what is being said, I do believe we have common ground on here,
and we can proceed to work on these.  I am of the believe that the move
notation will likely come before the extended FEN.  The issue with the
extended FEN is that FEN relies on being able to record a set number of
piece types.  However, we have a potential for an infinite number of game
pieces, so his is an issue.  FEN, as of now, can't handle this.
