  68 Here, "b" stands for "black" and "w" stands for "white", so
  69 that, for instance, "bL" means "black lance".  The numbers above the
  70 files and the letters to the right of the ranks represent the most
  71 common notation system used for shogi by westerners (the Japanese also
  72 use Arabic numerals for the files but use Japanese numerals for the
  73 ranks).
