Easy to use library to parse chess PGN

Portable Game Notation (PGN) is a standard plain text format for recording chess games (both the moves and related data), which can be read by humans and is also supported by most chess software (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Game_Notation)

Parse PGN file

public static PGN ParsePGN(TextReader sr)
public static PGN ParsePGN(string pgn)

# Example

var pgnAsString = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(pgnfile);
var pgn = Sandberg.Chess.PGN.Parser.ParsePGN(pgnAsString); // returns a PGN object

PGN object contains a collection og Tag's and Move's. A Tag is an object with Name an Value (both strings) A Move contains MoveNumber, White's move and Black's move.

It handles comments and variations

You can convert the PGN object back to a pgn-string:

var content = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(testfile);
var pgn = Sandberg.Chess.PGN.Parser.ParsePGN(content); // returns pgn as object

var pgnAsString = pgn.ToPgn();
