Subject: Chess Assistant PGN lockup
|
I have a line in a pgn file that will cause Chess Assistant (8.1) to
lockup (hour glass stays on) when ever I try to open it. The contents
of the file are as follows:
[Event "Line 41"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "6k1/1b2np1p/2p5/1N2p3/3pP2q/P2P1P2/1P3R2/2R1B1K1 b - - 0 27"]
27...Ng6 28.Rg2 Qd8 29.Na7 Qb6
This opens just fine with chessbase light and winboard. My OS is Win
XP. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this?

I saved this text to a file and it was interpreted as PGN and opened
successfully both in Chess Assistant 7.1 and 8.0. However, whatever
produced this text should get its act together as this is not PGN.
First of all six of the tags in the seven tag roster are missing, and
second there is no game termination ker at the end of the movetext.

I would guess it's the lack of terminator that's the problem. That
said, CA should be more resilient to malformed input.

And third: assuming this is in export format, the tags outside the
seven-tag roster (i.e. SetUP and FEN) must be in ASCII order (8.1.1)
