Generate videos from chess moves in SAN notation

SAN (Standard Algebraic Notation) is the standard method used in chess to record and describe moves. It uses letters (for files and pieces) and numbers (for ranks) to indicate the moves on the board. For example, e4 means moving a pawn from e2 to e4.

Below is a famous example of a game between Magnus Carlsen and Garry Kasparov when Carlsen was only 13 years old. The game ended in a draw. The moves in SAN were:

    e4 c5 Nf3 e6 d4 cxd4 Nxd4 a6 Nc3 Qc7 Bd3 Nf6 O-O Bc5 Nb3 Ba7
    Qf3 Nc6 Bf4 d6 Qg3 Nh5 Bxd6 Qd8 Qg4 Qxd6 Qxh5 Qe5 Qh3 Bd7 Kh1
    O-O-O f4 Qc7 e5 Nb4 Ne4 Kb8
            

If you do not provide any opening or closing text in the form below, your generated video will open directly on the chessboard and end after the final move, without any additional introduction or finishing sections.

PGN (Portable Game Notation) is a simple text format widely used to record and share chess games. It should not be confused with .png, which is an image format. PGN files usually use the .pgn extension and contain metadata (player names, event details, date, etc.) and the moves of the game.

Below is a simple example of how a PGN can be structured:

    [Event "Example Game"]
    [Site "Chess Club"]
    [Date "2025.02.02"]
    [Round "1"]
    [White "PlayerA"]
    [Black "PlayerB"]
    [Result "1-0"]
    
    1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O Nxe4 5. d4 a6 6. Bxc6 dxc6 7. Re1
    1-0
            

You can upload or paste PGN into most chess software or websites to replay the moves and analyze the game.
