Detailed Description

An EPD (Extended Position Description) record.

EPD describes chess positions and operations that can be performed at those positions. Normally EPD is used to build test suites of challenging positions that a chess engine can try to solve, but they can also be used as an opening suite for picking different starting positions for a series of games.

EPD at the Chess Programming Wiki: http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Extended+Position+Description

At the moment the EpdRecord class can be used to parse individual records from EPD files, but in the future it may also be used to build new EPD test suites etc.
