I was looking over the funny notation page a while ago, and it seems to
lack punctuation and operators. I imagine a better system could be made if
it made use of punctuation and operators. Here are some initial
suggestions. I'm sure it could be developed better than this.
? move continues if piece is not over occupied space
& move continues regardless of what's on current space
+ piece completes left move and continues with right move
| means makes one move or other
* means indefinite repetition of last move -- unless otherwise specified,
* means ?*
! means move end with capture
. means move must end on empty space
[] means move cannot be made unless whole move is made
() used as punctuation marks
[W&F] = Knight
W|F = Man
[W?F] = Mao
W* = Rook
F* = Bishop
W*|F* = Queen
(W!|F!)|(D|A) = Murray Lion
((D|A)|(W|F))|((W|F)+(W|F)) = Chu Shogi Lion
