A thin client for Stockfish. Comes in handy when we need to use Stockfish along with the object oriented goodness of Java. See `Javadoc` for detailed explanation.

position_eval.py

----------------

This is a command line tool for quickly evaluating a position in chess.

Here are the basics you need to know to get started :

* **Input** : Any FEN string(s) or a file containing FENs

```python

>> python position_eval.py <fen1> [<fen2>...<fenN>]

OR

>> python position_eval.py file <filename>

(Note : filename must have the extension .fen)

```

* **Output** : Current evaluation score and the best move. The FEN(s) along with the evaluation score is also written to a file called *game_moves.log*

plotter.py

----------

You can also plot evaluation score vs number of moves using

```python

>> python plotter.py

```

This will take data from *game_moves.log*

make_dataset.py

---------------

This file takes in a puzzle file in PGN format which contains Mate in 4+ puzzles, parses out the FEN strings, finds the optimal move sequence for mate and prints it to `stdout` and a file named `dataset`
