[Retros] Re: Steno-Chess notation

[Andrew]

Folks,

I haven't got into this steno thing, but one obvious idea is to allow the 
possibility to have *no* symbols from the SAN notation for certain moves, as 
well as just a single symbol. This avoids the composer having to give 
redundant information in some cases. The "blank" might be denoted by a 
period, which I think is otherwise an unused character. 

For example:
.33# 

If the steno notion is to achieve any kind of longevity, Francois Labelle's 
modification of Eric's original idea seems highly desirable. 

Cheers,
Andrew.
