I would start by replacing all linebreaks with spaces. Then go through
and add a linebreak just before any number followed by a digit (/[0-9]+\./).
Then maybe add a 'p' to all pawn moves. Adding the origin for each move
probably cannot be done automatically from the start. It depends on
where the relevant pieces are at any given time.
