Chess Move Interface

The Chess Move Interface (CMI) define a common Interface for standard chess half moves. It allows for a better interoperability among chess libraries.

CMake Integration

By using the add_subdirectory() directive on this repository, you will be able to use the following cmake calls in your project:

include_directories(${CMI_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(<YOUR_TARGET> ChessMoveInterface)

Note that the ChessMoveInterface target is guaranty to be define only once. Thus, it can be part of several subprojects/submodules in a given project.

How to use it ?

Create your own implementation of a chess half move by extending CMI::HalfMove. See the following projects for more informations:

• OChess A software for chess games analysis and management
• CGEditor A chess game editor
• pgnp An efficient pgn parser
