loadPgn method

dynamic loadPgn(String pgn, [ Map? options ])

Load the moves of a game stored in Portable Game Notation. options is an optional parameter that contains a 'newline_char' which is a string representation of a RegExp (and should not be pre-escaped) and defaults to '\r?\n'). Returns true if the PGN was parsed successfully, otherwise false.
