It will have all the up-to-date games of your favorite GM. Now you need to ask yourself "after the 2 or 3 first obvious moves, what next move should I use?" There is no perfect answer, but one that worked for me is to search for a GM that uses the same opening as you. I assume you already have at least 1 pet opening for white and and a response as black against at least 1.e4 and 1.d4. SCID (alternative is ChessDB, but scid is preferred and used here) You will absolutely need the following tools: The rules of chess are baked into the format itself, and the parser must have knowledge of the rules used to play the game that it is presenting.I'd like to share a few tips I gathered in my quest for learning openings.Īt first, when trying to learn a new opening, people tend to put as many variations as possible in their software/database without any real work behind it. Here I'll show you how to store your pet opening moves and practice them. Ī further consequence is that it is not possible to make a "generic PGN" parser that can handle chess variants, like suicide chess. The "two knights attack a square but one is pinned" case is specifically called out as NOT requiring disambiguation in the spec at. One might hope that reasonable PGN text would be nice and disambiguate whenever two pieces attack the same square, and not require legal move analysis. So to write a PGN parser, you must build a chess engine capable of analyzing a board sufficiently to determine legal moves. That pawn can capture en passant this turn, but not next turn. This knight cannot move because it is pinned to the king. But "can move" is a tricky notion in chess. Nge4: the knight on the g file moves to square e4. What if both knights can move to e4? Then the format disambiguates. That by itself is not too bad, but it gets worse. So to parse PGN, you have to teach your parser how the pieces move. Ne4: a knight moves to e4, and it's up to the parser to figure out which knight. The reason is that the PGN format only specifies the piece type and destination square of each move. What I found was pretty shocking: the PGN format looks simple, but is remarkably difficult for a computer to parse. A while back, I attempted to write a chess site that let you paste in chess games in PGN text format, and then step through them.
