Quoted from the PGN Specification by Steven J. Simple Object Access Protocol ( SOAP) 1.1 This is a simple helper function, it converts a FEN position in a new FEN by applying a move to it. String DoMove ( string fen, string move ) Given a FEN position as input, the return is a list of all the valid moves together with their scores.

M5 = color to move gives mate in 5, -M3 = color to move gets mated in 5 moves. An error response is returned when position is invalid or not in database. The score is given as distance to mat, or 0 when the position is a draw. A description of FEN is at the end of this page. The input is the position in FEN notation. A simple VB test application is available. /p> For those on a windows platform the Microsoft soap toolkit or Pocketsoap can be used. To encode and decode the SOAP request a XML parser is handy. In order to make use of this service you need to be able to make SOAP request and read the responses. The service is described by a WDSL schema file, the schema can be found here: dl See the links section at the end of this page.
