Project 1

Approach

For this project, I will work with the chess tournament text file and turn it into a clean dataset. The main challenge will be working with a text file where the information is spread across multiple lines. There are a few patterns in the file. For example, each player’s information is spread across two lines followed by a separator, and the round results contain information about the player’s opponents. I will use these patterns to extract the required information, create a dataframe, and export the final results as a CSV file.
