Module shakmaty::uci

Parse and write moves in Universal Chess Interface representation.

Examples

Parsing UCIs:

use shakmaty::{Square, uci::Uci};

let uci: Uci = "g1f3".parse()?;

assert_eq!(uci, Uci::Normal {
    from: Square::G1,
    to: Square::F3,
    promotion: None,
});

Converting to a legal move in the context of a position:

use shakmaty::{Color::White, Chess, Setup, Position};

let mut pos = Chess::default();
let m = uci.to_move(&pos)?;

pos.play_unchecked(&m);
assert_eq!(pos.board().piece_at(Square::F3), Some(White.knight()));

Converting from Move to Uci:

let pos = Chess::default();

let m = Move::Normal {
    role: Role::Knight,
    from: Square::B1,
    to: Square::C3,
    capture: None,
    promotion: None,
};

let uci = m.to_uci(pos.castles().mode());
assert_eq!(uci.to_string(), "b1c3");

let uci = Uci::from_standard(&m);
assert_eq!(uci.to_string(), "b1c3");

let uci = Uci::from_chess960(&m);
assert_eq!(uci.to_string(), "b1c3");
