kandi X-RAY | Chessnut Summary
Chessnut is a simple chess board model written in Python. Chessnut is not a chess engine -- it has no AI to play games, and it has no GUI. It is a simple package that can import/export games in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN), generate a list of legal moves for the current board position, intelligently validate & apply moves (including en passant, castling, etc.), and keep track of the game with a history of both moves and corresponding FEN representation. Chessnut is not written for speed, it is written for simplicity (there are only two real classes, and only about 200 lines of code). By adding a custom move evaluation function, Chessnut could be used as a chess engine. The simplicity of the model lends itself well to studying the construction of a chess engine without worrying about implementing a chess model, or to easily find the set of legal moves for either player on a particular chess board for use in conjunction with another chess application.

QUESTION
I'm trying to use some chess related libraries in python (e.g. chessnut and chess) and they use the following notation
r1bqkb1r/pppp1Qpp/2n2n2/4p3/2B1P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNB1K1NR b KQkq - 0 4
I've searched about it and didn't find anything. How can I manipulate this and how can I transform the standart algebraic notation (e.g. "d4 Nc6 e4 e5 f4 f6 dxe5 fxe5") into this new one?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-31 at 13:29That notation is called FEN (Forsyth–Edwards Notation), and it looks like python-chess knows about it and can parse it.
This notation is not really equivalent to a list of moves - this is for specifying a position, which might also be a starting position. There's no complete record of how the game reached that point.
Python-chess can turn any board position you've loaded into it - for example using PGN notation - into this notation though.

Install Chessnut
You can use Chessnut like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
