Class White
Description of White: The White tag value is the name of the player or players of the white pieces. The names are given as they would appear in a telephone directory. The family or last name appears first. If a first name or first initial is available, it is separated from the family name by a comma and a space. Finally, one or more middle initials may appear. (Wherever a comma appears, the very next character should be a space. Wherever an initial appears, the very next character should be a period.) If the name is unknown, a single question mark should appear as the tag value.
The intent is to allow meaningful ASCII sorting of the tag value that is independent of regional name formation customs. If more than one person is playing the white pieces, the names are listed in alphabetical order and are separated by the colon character between adjacent entries. A player who is also a computer program should have appropriate version information listed after the name of the program.
The format used in the FIDE Rating Lists is appropriate for use for player name tags.
Examples:
[White "Tal, Mikhail N."]
[White "van der Wiel, Johan"]
[White "Acme Pawngrabber v.3.2"]
