Chess-db

Scripts for parse pgns files into a sqlite (tsv, RData) database/table.

How to use

• Download a "chess database". For example you can download a big list of pgn from http://www.kingbase-chess.net/.
• Put all the pgn files in the data-raw folder.
• Then run the R scripts.
• If you have a humble pc wait for 2-3 hours (if you download the 1.6M DB).
• And enjoy your chess database ;) in sqslite, Rdata, tsv format!
