That's a good point. I weakened the wording to make it clear that I'm speculating.
- jrpt 12y agoRelatedly, if you want to analyze PGNs, I put together some Python code that can analyze PGNs in combination with a chess engine. It can also draw chess positions, if you find interesting positions you want to programmatically draw: https://github.com/pickhardt/chessbox https://github.com/pickhardt/chessbox I'm kind of hoping someone will do a thorough analysis of the types of moves chess grandmasters make during a game. For instance, here is a chart from a GM book that categorized moves into four categories: http://imgur.com/BMOElXN http://imgur.com/BMOElXN
- rhiever 12y agoNice! I've been needing a tool like this for these chess analyses. Do you have docs showing how to use the scripts?
- jrpt 12y agoNot really, it was mostly made for my own use then thrown on Github in case someone wanted it. It works for most games, but isn't guaranteed to be able to parse all games. I added example code to the readme.
