Hi!
There are 3 reasons why pbchess is failed to read this PGN file:
1. Wrong file encoding. Pocketbook works with the UTF-8 encoding, but this file uses WINDOWS-1250 encoding. It should be converted to UTF-8. I've described one way how to convert text file to UTF-8:
http://pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/manual.html (Working with PGN bases);
2. Wrong file format. The PGN tag "FEN" describes an initial position on the chess board. This file has wrong "FEN" tag format. FEN should have 6 fields, as described here:
http://www.chessclub.com/help/PGN-spec
"A FEN description has six fields. Each field is composed only of non-blank
printing ASCII characters. Adjacent fields are separated by a single ASCII
space character."
... and here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsyth...wards_Notation
But the games exist in this file that have illegal FEN, for example:
[FEN "4k3/8/4K3/8/8/7R/8/8 w - 0 1"]
it should be:
[FEN "4k3/8/4K3/8/8/7R/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
It's simple to fix this format in any text editor, using find/replace
"w -" -> "w - -"
"b -" -> "b - -"
3. pbchess supposes that the interval between 2 games should be 1 empty line. But in this file the intervals with 3 empty lines are met. I'll fix the PGN parser to support arbitrary intervals and release the 1.2.1.2 version on Friday (see my
roadmap).
