public class AmbiguousChessMoveException

extends AmbiguousMoveException

some notations use shorthand for moves that relies on a particular position on the board. If the position is incorrect the move is often not intelligible since Ne5 might refer to a Knight on f3 or a Knight on d3. This exception is thrown when the move does not specify a unique piece to move. This exception tries to give as much information as possible to help determine what went wrong.
