EPD Format

The EPD format is a file format for positions, not for complete games. Often after the ''bm'' tag the best move for this position is given with optional comments. You can find a lot of test suites on the Internet in EPD format.

Here is an example:

rq2r1k1/5pp1/p7/4bNP1/1p2P2P/5Q2/PP4K1/5R1R w - - 0 1 bm Nxg7 ;1 wins
6k1/2b2p1p/ppP3p1/4p3/PP1B4/5PP1/7P/7K w - - 0 1 bm Bxb6 ;2 wins
5r1k/p1q2pp1/1pb4p/n3R1NQ/7P/3B1P2/2P3P1/7K w - - 0 1 bm Re6 ;3 wins
5r1k/1P4pp/3P1p2/4p3/1P5P/3q2P1/Q2b2K1/B3R3 w - - 0 1 bm Qf7 ;4 wins
3B4/8/2B5/1K6/8/8/3p4/3k4 w - - 0 1 bm Ka6 ;5 wins
