I remember that I read that yace does it but I prefer not to have a big code to
do it and the solution first to translate the pgn to simple algebric notation is
not a solution that I like because it means that the program that does it needs
to know the chess rules when I already have a program that knows the chess
rules.

I do not like asking the user to use an external program to translate pgn to
different format.

I prefer a solution when there is a code that I can add(possibly with minor
changes) as another file to the project of movei and I do not want that file to
know about the chess rules because it means that the file is going to be bigger
than necessary.
