Hi,
As many of you know, those of us on the staff here actually enjoy chess. We all play it (though some more than others), and we even study it in the five minutes each day we have to ourselves. :-) For me, I'm a fan of Chess960 (also known sometimes as Fischer Random), and I'm working on a personal project involving chess960 openings (no details yet, maybe more on that later). But I was wondering if I could get some help from this fine community for my project. What I need is the FEN strings of all 960 opening chess960 positions. Does anyone know where these can be found? If you don't know what FEN strings are, they are a way of expressing the current board position so that a computer can read it. You can find more about those here.
Yes, I know that these can be done by hand, but I'm REALLY trying to avoid that, so I was wondeirng if anyone knew where they might be, or if someone already had them. If you could either send me a link to them or e-mail them to me ( joshk <AT> chess <DOT> com) I would be eternally grateful to you.

There's a zip file that contains a pipe-delimited table of all starting positions and their corresponding FEN strings.
TheGrobe,
