Simple XML for Chess

Simple XML for Chess is a very much simplified and a little modified derivative of ChessGML. I made these changes because I wanted to have some data in XML which was not possible in ChessGML, especially NIC opening classification.

Changes

• Replaced player-ref with player element with surname and firstname child elements.
• Added opening element with nic, eco and name child elements.
• p element does not have colour because the data can be found in the parent of p element.

Files

• Crude but working python tools
  • Python chess library, originally by Erik Max Francis and modified by me.
  • Beginnings of an import utility for my vaporware chess database.
• Simple XML for Chess schema
• An example XML file.
