Hi Caissus,

Still I have not received a PGN file. So I tried to find one hier at this site. As I prosumed the local PGN file is not obeying the PGN format in two points: a) the game lines are not limited to about 80 chars each, b) the initial GC FEN string is missing.

If you would insert the matching FEN string [FEN "rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/0/0/0/0/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQCKA
BNR w KQkq - 0 1"] (should be a constant for GC) and also enter line breaks Smirf is able to read such files.

ne converted PGN file would then look like this:

[Event "Casual Game"]
[Site "BrainKing.com (Prague, Czech Republic)"]
[Date "2004.07.15"]
[Round "?"]
[White "tangram"]
[Black "nstre"]
[Result "0-1"]
[FEN "rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/0/0/0/0/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQCKA
BNR w KQkq - 0 1"]

1. d4 Nh6 2. Nh3 i6 3. i3 Bi7 4. Bi2 d6 5. c4 f6 6. d5 c6 7. Nc3 e6 8. e4 e5
9. f3 c5 10. Af2 a6 11. O-O Af7 12. g4 O-O 13. Nj4 g5 14. a4 Nd7 15. Ne2 Nf8
16. Cg2 Ng6 17. Bd2 Nj5 18. Bh3 Nh6 19. Ni2 Nf4 20. Nxf4 gxf4 21. Ah4 Ag5
22. Be1 Cg7 23. Axg5 Cxg5 24. Ng1 Qe8 25. Bi2 Bd7 26. h4 Cg7 0-1

Maybe it would be a good idea to convice the site owner to enhance the PGN compatibility in the both mentioned points.

Reinhard.
