Subject: Capturing Positions from Diagrams
I was wondering if there was an easy way to capture the Forsythe (FEN)
notation of a chess position from a diagram like we often find on the
Net. Most positions are shown in diagram form and the only way I know
to transfer said position to other chess programs is by manually and
tediously setting it up. Anyone know of a simpler way?

Did you ever get an answer to this?

Thanks.

Diag-Transfer 3.01 does this. I'm surprised nobody piped up to mention
it before.
