I lazily load the EPD files into a listbox before processing it.
That eats memory and limits size of EPD file the tool can handle.
I shall change that and speed things up.
That would be great, as I have plan of converting the other 4 million pos.

I have just added the handling of the "pm" and "c0" tags.

The STS Testsuite uses the "c0" tag to score moves.
FEN - Flipper 1.2

Handles large EPD files, and fast.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

True, I actually tried creating a converter using python, with output similar to _x file and ignoring the other opcodes, just the pieces, side, castling flags and ep square, 1.3 M is around 2 minutes.
