NAME

Chess::PGN::Moves - Perl extension for tabular data in support of Chess::PGN::EPD

SYNOPSIS

  use Chess::PGN::Moves;

DESCRIPTION

These tables (as listed under EXPORT below) describe all of the possible moves for a given piece. The hash %from_algebraic provides quick translation from algebraic square notation to a more useful numeric index. There are 4 additional hash tables; %engWhite, %engBlack, %Whiteeng and %Blackeng that provide conversion from english descriptive notation to algebraic notation for square names.

CHESS::PGN::EPD
CHESS::PGN::Parse

KNOWN BUGS

None known; Unknown? Of course, though I try to be neat...
