The slashes sorely separate files. You're reading from the top of the board down, from the a-file to the h-file by rank. I mean lowercase letters are black pieces, uppercase ones are white. Numbers are the consecutive number of empty squares.
So, up until the first slash, you've the eigth rank. In this example, you've 2 empty squares, a black king, a black rook, 2 empty squares, a black rook, and one empty square (continuously going acros from a- to h-file)
Then no the sevcenth rank you arbitrarily have three empty sqaures, a black queen, one empty squasre, a black pawn, another empty square, and another black pawn.. ---------
That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.
