Chess Forum / General Topics / November 2005Descriptive Notation
I have been looking for a Descriptive to Algebraic notation converter. If anyone knows of one and where to get it a post would be appreciated. I have tried the FAQ but the links there seem to be dead. I found one online version but I would like a stand alone. I have found a few online but there links were dead too.

Freeware, but need to register. If you don't want to, download it here: http://www.loiodice.com/chess/  SignatureCeeBee ***The Place Where The Faith And The Flavour Meet*** Excellent! I have chessbase Light already. What do I name the file and then how do I open it? I didn't see anything in the help file. -Dale > "KD1IN" <dj_dale@hotmail.com> wrote in rec.games.chess.misc: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Freeware, but need to register.

Chess game readers all can read PGN and furthermore use different, proprietary formats. If you have plain text files only without PGN headers but with moves, copy the moves (CTRL-C) and paste them (CTRL-V) into an open board window. Now do the conversion. SignatureCeeBee ***The Place Where The Faith And The Flavour Meet*** What I am looking to do is exactly what this web site does: http://alawi.csail.mit.edu/~alawi/chesstools/ednTOpgn.php The problem I have with the web site is that it won't be there for long. He is a grad student and will be leaving sometime. I want to be able to type in descriptive notation and output algebraic. Either text or pgn, it doesn't matter. Thank you again, -Dale > "KD1IN" <dj_dale@hotmail.com> wrote in rec.games.chess.misc: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > do > the conversion.

If you input a game in CB Light you can choose how to display notation: short algebraic, long algebraic, descriptive. Simply input the moves and save the game in a database.

He is a grad student and will be leaving sometime. You could E-mail him and ask for a copy of the code. Dave. SignatureDavid Richerby Evil Projector (TM): it's like a 16mm www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~davidr/ film projector but it's genuinely evil! The code is avaliable on the site as part of a chess program. I'm not much of a programmer though. It is in C, C++ and Python. It also uses a SWIG (www.swig.org) wrapper and my compiler doesn't like that. -Dale PS get to the code via http://alawi.csail.mit.edu/chess.php and click on "the last chess engine I wrote". I did contact him and he said he would see if he could make an executable for me. >> What I am looking to do is exactly what this web site does: >> http://alawi.csail.mit.edu/~alawi/chesstools/ednTOpgn.php [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Dave. |
