Etymology of the Korean currencies Etymology of the Korean currencies The won is the currency of both North and South Korea.

X-FEN X-FEN X-FEN is an extension of Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN). The traditional Forsyth-Edwards Notation is not sufficient to represent all possible positions in 8×8 Chess960 (aka Fischer Random Chess) or 10×8 Capablanca Random Chess (CRC). Consequently, an extension of FEN was needed, with the requirement of being fully backward compatible. X-FEN (formerly FRC-FEN), introduced by Reinhard Scharnagl in 2003, accomplishes this. X-FEN is based on traditional FEN. It differs only in the way that castling and "en passant" tags are used. Moreover, 10×8 positions which use princess (knight+bishop) and empress (knight+rook) compound pieces are supported. Games are translated into PGN format
