Perfect! Now this project is not even Opening specific since all moves can be imported with -ply 999.

This query then generates the fens for all the occured 7 man positions.

Code: Select all

oobs -q "q+Q+b+B+r+R+n+N+k+K+p+P=7" 

Very Cool!

IMO its really not OOBS its just OBS. (Open Book Standard)

Since the limitation to ply 20 is an artificial default - when removing it you can store every graph of every game played in the pgn and query it too. The output is smaller than the original pgn.
With SQL and PQL its really a good Swiss Army knife for chess.

I recommend you make announcements on other websites too!
Talkchess is using robots.txt (they really should let google index this site) and github does not link to all repos by default.
What I want to say is that if I type "OOBS chess" in google it does not come up.

I use both, sometimes the longer one is helpful for disambiguating.

Nice find of using, thanks!

BTW, in case you are picking the code, just remind that the code of using PQL in OCGDB (game databases) is more generic than one in OOBS (books) since the first one can work with starting FEN + Moves (whole games) while the second one works with FEN only.
