How to stream chess positions off the internet

[dangi12012]

I did it wrong in the past. To get chess games as a list of fens just do this!

Code: Select all

wget -qO- https://database.lichess.org/standard/lichess_db_standard_rated_2022-08.pgn.bz2 | bzip2 -dc | pgn-extract -Wfen

That makes me wonder - is there a http to uci adapter somewhere?

Some software that literally only pipes stdout and stdin over http

Even better:

Code: Select all

wget -qO- https://database.lichess.org/standard/lichess_db_standard_rated_2022-08.pgn.bz2 | bzip2 -dc | pgn-extract -Wfen -s | grep -v "\[" | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4}' | grep "\S" | uniq -u > fens.txt
