=head1 NAME
Chess::PGN::Extract - Parse PGN files by using `pgn-extract`
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Chess::PGN::Extract;
# Slurp all games in a PGN file
my @games = read_games ("filename.pgn");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Chess::PGN::Extract> provides a function to extract chess records from
Portable Game Notation (PGN) files.
B<Chess::PGN::Extract> internally depends on
L<JSON-enhanced pgn-extract|https://bitbucket.org/mnacamura/pgn-extract>,
a command line tool to manipulate PGN files. So, please put the C<pgn-extract>
in your C<PATH> for using this module.
If you want to deal with a huge PGN file with which slurping is expensive,
consider to use L<Chess::PGN::Extract::Stream>, which provides a file stream
class to read games iteratively.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over
=item B<read_games ($pgn_file)>
Read all games contained in the C<$pgn_file> at once and return an C<ARRAY> of
them.
Perl expression of one game will be something like this:
{ Event => "LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky",
Site => "Tiger Moth",
Date => "1986.08.02",
Round => 1,
White => "Captain Dola",
Black => "Jicchan",
Result => "1-0",
Moves => ["e2-e4", "g7-g6"],
}
B<NOTE>
In a typical PGN file, moves are recorded in standard algebraic notation
(SAN):
1. e4 g6
...
C<pgn-extract> converts it to long algebraic notation (LAN), and so does this
module:
my ($game) = read_games ($pgn_file);
$game->{Moves} #=> ["e2-e4", "g7-g6", ...]
For details about PGN, SAN, and LAN, see, I<e.g.>,
L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Game_Notation> and
L<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_notation>.
