Hi,

there are a lot of possible lay outs. I prefer this one:
Code: Select all
FEN: rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

  +-*--b--c--d--*--f--g--*-+
8 |[r][n][b][q][k][b][n][r]|
7 |[p][p][p][p][p][p][p][p]|
6 |   :::   :::   :::   :::|
5 |:::   :::   :::   :::   |
4 |   :::   :::   :::   :::|
3 |:::   :::   :::   :::   |
2 |<P><P><P><P><P><P><P><P>|
1 |<R><N><B><Q><K><B><N><R>|
=>+-*--b--c--d--*--f--g--*-+

"*" are standing near castling enabled pieces or upon an e.p. square
"=>" points to the side to move

Reinhard.
