Abstract The game of chess is undoubtedly one of the most popular two-player strategy board games in history, enjoyed by casual players and competing celebrated professionals alike, and serves as prototype research subject in a vast variety of fields. Although a plethora of parsers on a large number of different platforms is readily available for processing records of chess games provided in online databases, Mathematica remains, somewhat surprisingly, exempt.
