NAME Regexp::Common::Chess - regexp for algebraic notation in chess SYNOPSIS use Regexp::Common qw/Chess/; my $move = 'Rxh7+'; if($move =~ /^$RE{Chess}{SAN}$/) { say "Yay! A valid chess move!"; } else { say "Sad to say, that doesn't look valid..."; } DESCRIPTION This module defines a regular expression for use when parsing standard algebaric notation (SAN) as specified in the Portable Game Notation (PGN) standard (export format). It is not a complete PGN regexp. It is limited to only match one specific move at a time. SEE ALSO The PGN format, including its SAN specification, is documented in the "Portable Game Notation Specification and Implementation Guide", available here: * The Regexp::Common manual documents the use of the Regexp::Common framework and interface, used by Regexp::Common::Chess. AVAILABILITY The latest released code of this module is available from CPAN. The latest development, useful for contributing and for those living on the edge etc. is available from Github: * COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2011 - Olof Johansson All rights reserved.
