The database has entries like this, each one of them being a full chess game:<\/p>\n

[‘e2e4’, ‘g8f6’, ‘d2d4’, ‘g7g6’, ‘c2c4’, ‘f8g7’, ‘b1c3’, ‘e8g8’, ‘e2e4’, ‘d7d6’, ‘f1e2’, ‘e7e5’, ‘e1g1’, ‘b8c6’, ‘d4d5’, ‘c6e7’, ‘c1g5’, ‘h7h6’, ‘g5f6’, ‘g7f6’, ‘b2b4’, ‘f6g7’, ‘c4c5’, ‘f7f5’, ‘f3d2’, ‘g6g5’, ‘a1c1’, ‘a7a6’, ‘d2c4’, ‘e7g6’, ‘a2a4’, ‘g6f4’, ‘a4a5’, ‘d6c5’, ‘b4c5’, ‘f5e4’, ‘c4e3’, ‘c7c6’, ‘d5d6’, ‘c8e6’, ‘c3e4’, ‘d8a5’, ‘e2g4’, ‘e6d5’, ‘d1c2’, ‘a5b4’, ‘e4g3’, ‘e5e4’, ‘c1b1’, ‘b4d4’, ‘b1b7’, ‘a6a5’, ‘g3f5’, ‘f8f5’, ‘e3f5’]<\/p>\n

e2e4 means the piece on e2 (the pawn) moved to e4. Problem is, I have no way of knowing which piece is moving somewhere. For example, “g7h8” means the piece on g7 moved to h8 but unless I run all the previous moves I have no way of knowing which piece is that.<\/p>\n

How can I transform this into a more understandable dataset?<\/p>\n

I’m not sure this is the sub to ask this, if it isn’t I’d appreciate if you could tell me where to ask it<\/p>\n

PD: I’ve checked the chess library in python but I haven’t found anything<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
