Convert chess books from word into special format. See detailed requirements. ## Deliverables Convert chess books from word into special format. 1) Copy fonts from archive to the windows fonts directory (chess fonts for correct displaying) 2) Every book chapter should be a separate file 3) First you need to get all chess moves from text: Example. Source text: ============================================ In more recent times, the King's Gambit has been occasionally adopted by Nigel Short, Alexei Fedorov and all three of the Polgar sisters. Theory books are rarely convinced about White's chances and it is still comparatively rare, but playing 1?e5 nevertheless requires the second player to be prepared in the event of a ''surprise''. Meeting fire with fire, our recommendation is to remember that there are two f-pawns which are permitted to move in the early stages of a game of chess. [login to view URL] e5 [login to view URL] ef [login to view URL] ... In the very first Spassky - Fischer duel (Mar del Plata, 1960) 3...g5 [login to view URL] g4 [login to view URL] Nf6 [login to view URL] d6 [login to view URL] Nxe4 [login to view URL] was encountered, with repeated confirmation in practice of the compensation for the pawn. Fischer wrote in My 60 Memorable Games: "This loss spurred me to look for a "refutation" of the King's Gambit, which I published in the American Chess Quarterly, Vol. 1 (1961), No. 1. The right move is 3?d6!" Although his analyses have been forgotten and the American never had a chance to test them in practice, 3...d6 began to be called the Fischer Defense. 3... d6 [login to view URL] g5 [login to view URL] g4 [login to view URL] ... In the Rapid game Morozevich - Kasparov (Paris, 1995) White rejected this main continuation in favor of the theoretically unsound [login to view URL]! After 6?h6 (6?f6!?) [login to view URL] Kxf7 8. Bxf4 Bg7 9. Bc4+ Ke8 10. 0-0 Nc6 11. Be3 Qxh4 12. Rf7 Rh7 there's no real compensation for the piece. What specific reply to [login to view URL] the 13th World Champion planned in the defense named after the 11th World Champion remained a mystery. ============================================ You have to get: ============================================ 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6 (3. ... g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 Nf6 6. d4 d6 7. Nd3 Nxe4 8. Bxf4) 4. d4 g5 5. h4 g4 6. Ng1 (6. Ng5?! h6 (6. ... f6!?) 7. Nxf7 Kxf7 8. Bxf4 Bg7 9. Bc4+ Ke8 10. 0-0 Nc6 11. Be3 Qxh4 12. Rf7 Rh7) ============================================ Every branch goes in brackets "()". Example: 3. Nf3 d6 (3. ... g5) Branches can be nested: 6. Ng1 (6. Ng5?! h6 (6. ... f6!?) 7. Nxf7) If two moves (white and black) are placed together in text, only move number before white move is required, example: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 If there is a branch between them, move number should be added to black move as well (number + "..."), example: 2. f4 (2. Nf3) 2. ... exf4 4) File should be correctly exported into: [login to view URL] (copy text to the top block and click "Generate HTML" - it'll generate an output where each move should be a link, if it isn't - something is wrong in your input) IMPORTANT: In the source file moves are written in short form, example: [login to view URL] e5 [login to view URL] ef [login to view URL] works only with full form and it should be changed, so, you should provide [login to view URL] e5 [login to view URL] ef4 instead. Convert game move by move, and replay it via [login to view URL] often.. As soon as you've done game from chapter, set "as text" flag and click "Generate HTML". Save output as file. Then you need to restore text from original file, example: ================================================= <p>1. <a href="/SetMove(1,0)" name="m1v0"><b>e4</b></a> <a href="/SetMove(2,0)" name="m2v0"><b>e5</b></a> <br />2. <a href="/SetMove(3,0)" name="m3v0"><b>f4</b></a> <a href="/SetMove(4,0)" name="m4v0"><b>ef</b></a> <br/>3. <a href="/SetMove(5,0)" name="m5v0"><b><span class="chess">C</span>f3</b></a> ... <br /> In the very first Spassky - Fischer duel (Mar del Plata, 1960) 3... <a href="/SetMove(6,2)" name="m6v2">g5</a> 4.<a href="/SetMove(7,2)" name="m7v2">h4</a> <a href="/SetMove(8,2)" name="m8v2">g4</a> 5.<a href="/SetMove(9,2)" name="m9v2"><span class="chess">C</span>e5</a> <a href="/SetMove(10,2)" name="m10v2"><span class="chess">C</span>f6</a> 6.<a href="/SetMove(11,2)" name="m11v2">d4</a> <a href="/SetMove(12,2)" name="m12v2">d6</a> 7.<a href="/SetMove(13,2)" name="m13v2"><span class="chess">C</span>d3</a> <a href="/SetMove(14,2)" name="m14v2"><span class="chess">C</span>xe4</a> 8.<a href="/SetMove(15,2)" name="m15v2"><span class="chess">E</span>xf4</a> was encountered, with repeated confirmation in practice of the compensation for the pawn. ================================================= Notice, you're replacing moves to the <a href>...</a> references from the pgneditor's output Chess figures should be wrapped with <span class="chess">, e.g.: <a href="javascript:SetMove(13,1)" name="m13v1">Nd3</a> becomes <a href="/SetMove(13,1)" name="m13v1"><span class="chess">N</span>d3</a> javascript:SetMove is replaced with /SetMove (you can do it in the end by global "replace") Chess figures: Figure name/PGN/font ISChess: pawn// knight/N/C bishop/B/E rook/R/G queen/Q/I king/K/K There is a figure name in pgn in the second column, and the symbol, that should be placed inside <span class="chess"> in the third column. E.g. 3. Nf3 should be converted to 3. <a href="/SetMove(5,0)" name="m5v0"><b><span class="chess">C</span>f3</b></a> You may convert just single book or even start from single chapter from book (but not less), confirm that you have read all this information and provide required size in bid amount and required time. Files in archive: 1) [login to view URL] - chess fonts 2) [login to view URL] ? [login to view URL] - books for conversion 3) [login to view URL] - example of final output (part of first chapter from [login to view URL]) 4) [login to view URL] - this file
