KenChessPGNSolutions

Two objectives:

1. Tutorial for designing a PGN Chess Player
2. Library for myself for a future planned project, "Ken Chess Trainer".

Clarify what this doesn't do!

1. It does not play a game against the computer.
2. Currently, it does not allow you to create a PGN game.

Current Functionality

• Tutorial Provides a good tutorial for creating a C# application (with a GUI chess board) to navigate through a PGN game.
• Reusable Components There are several useful utility classes:
  • UtilitiesLegalUCIMoves: get all legal moves for active player
  • UtilitiesConvertPgnSANtoUCI: convert moves to Universal Chess Interface notation
  • StructuredPGNGame: Powerful C# Class object easily created from raw PGN ASCII multi-game text (and a specific game number).
