          Start from a CGP position
          
          

            
A CGP describes a position in four space-separated fields:

            board rack1/rack2 score1/score2 scoreless-turns
            
Board: 15 rows separated by /. Numbers count empty squares; letters are tiles, with lowercase letters for designated blanks. For example, 7A7 is a row with A in the center.

            
Racks: uppercase letters and ? for blanks; an empty opponent rack means unknown (in an endgame it is inferred from the unseen tiles). Scores and racks list Player 1 first. The last field counts consecutive scoreless turns. Optionally append -lex CSW24 or -lex NWL23; otherwise the current lexicon is used.

            
Player 1 is on turn. History starts at this position. Leave empty to start a new board.
