Closest thing to this was a similar effort in scheme. In general this comes down to parsing chess notation (algebraic...

So it should be: define (init-board) (board "a1" (list "r" "w" "w")) (board "b1" (list "n" "w" "b")) (board "c1" (list "b" "w" "w")) (board "d1" (list "q" "w" "b")) (board "e1" (list "k" "w" "w")) (board "f1" (list "b" "w" "b")) (board "g1" (list "n" "w" "w")) (board "h1" (list "r" "w" "b"))) instea...

Given code that looks like this: (context 'board) (define (board:board key value) (if value (context 'board key value) (context 'board key))) (define (init-board (board "a1" (list "r" "w" "w")) (board "b1" (list "n" "w" "b")) (board "c1" (list "b" "w" "w")) (board "d1" (list "q" "w" "b")) (board "e1...
