as Position:

startpos moves 7g7f

For conversion, this crate defines the following traits and data types:

• A trait responsible for conversion from strings in USI format to Self. Implementors of this trait provides a method that reports detailed error reports, and a method that reports only whether an error occurred.
• Error: An error type for conversion. Some possible errors are the following:
  • The string representation is invalid (e.g. 9j is given as a square).
  • The parsed position is invalid.

What are out of scope?

• Failing to convert to a Position when the parser encountered illegal moves
  • Other crates are responsible for legality checking
