	Portable Game Notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Portable Game Notation (.PGN) is a computer-processable format for recording chess games (both the moves and related data); many chess programs recognize this extremely popular format due to its accessibility by ordinary ascii editors, including word processors capable of importing and exporting plain ascii.
		PGN is structured "for easy reading and writing by human users and for easy parsing and generation by computer programs." The chess moves themselves are given in Algebraic chess notation.
		PGN code begins with a set of "tag pairs" (a tag name and its value), followed by the "movetext" (chess moves with optional commentary).

	ICC Help: PGN-spec
		PGN is structured for easy reading and writing by human users and for easy parsing and generation by computer programs.
		Instead, PGN is proposed as a universal portable representation for data interchange.
		PGN data are organized as simple text lines without any special bytes or markers for secondary record structure imposed by specific operating systems.

	[No title]
		PGN is not intended to be a general purpose standard that is suitable for every possible use; no such standard could fill all conceivable requirements.
		For PGN export format, there are no white space characters between the left bracket and the tag name, there are no white space characters between the tag value and the right bracket, and there is a single space character between the tag name and the tag value.
		The general game construct is to be used as an alternative to record type 0x01 in those cases where the latter is too restrictive to contain the data for a game.) 20.4.6: Marker 0x06: general game data end Marker 0x06 is used to indicate the end of data for a game.

	Portable Game Notation (PGN): Specification
		PGN is "Portable Game Notation", a standard designed for the representation of chess game data using ASCII text files.
		PGN games for a specific player should have a file name consisting of the player's last name followed by the ".pgn" suffix.
		PGN games for a specific event should have a file name consisting of the event's name followed by the ".pgn" suffix.

	Palview and Portable Game Notation
		The best and easiest way to obtain a PGN file of the games you want to publish with Palview, is to create the games using the software that you use to maintain your chess database.
		The actual details of PGN are too numerous to be completely covered here, so we recommend that you get a copy of the PGN Standard to use as a reference.
		When annotating a game it is sometimes useful to be able to play a series of variation moves by one player to show his plan or to demonstrate some tactical motif.

	PGN Utilities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		PGC is a compressed form of PGN (Portable Games Notation) which allows games to be easily searched and retrieved by header contents or position.
		Notation sorts can be adjusted to order on move segments into the game by being given a move number (from-to) range.
		Games may be given ECO classifications derived from the accompanying file eco.pgn, or a customised version provided by the user.

	Definition of Portable Game Notation
		Portable Game Notation (.PGN) is a computer-processable format for recording chess games (both the moves and related data); most chess programs recognize this extremely popular format due to its ease of use.
		In most cases, this is simply the letter abbreviation for the piece, an "x" if there is a capture, and the 2-character algebraic name of the final square the piece moved to.
		SAN kingside castling is indicated by the sequence "O-O"; queenside castling is indicated by the sequence "O-O-O" (note that these are capital letter Os, not numeral 0s).

	Chess Programming
		Further since it must generate this from the game score, the program used must be able to play a long in effect, correctly updating an internal board with each move.
		Notation style used to mark chess moves in a game score.
		Exactly the same as algebraic notation, except that each piece designator is replaced with an icon of the piece in question.

	PGN - Portable Game Notation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This is a online version of the "Portable Game Notation Specification and Implementation Guide".
		In my opinion, the sections 13 (PGN software), 19 (Canonical chess position hash coding), 20 (Binary representation), and 21 (E-mail correspondence usage) are obsolete and should be deleted: PGN reading/writing is a must for all chess software nowadays.
		And I am not sure, whether there is a need for a canonical chess position hash coding, or for a special PGN E-mail correspondence usage.
