Betza notation (extended). The powerful XBetza extension to Betza's funny notation.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Now that I think about it, this might not be so difficult to implement. I could treat the spellZone as an extra piece, letting the Betza parser create the move list as usual. Then every move of a burning piece should automatically be followed by all possible moves of an empty square from the destination of that piece.

Ooooh! Am I right in concluding that this would also allow for spellZone=KNS, spellZone=sRbBfW (Earthward Net), or spellZone=AXCY (Peacenik)? (I imagine that this would be done with both blastZone and spellZone.)
