.TH PGN-EXTRACT 1 "May 19, 2013"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pgn-extract - a Portable Game Notation (PGN) extractor
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B pgn-extract
|
|
[flags] file.pgn [file.pgn ...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B pgn-extract
|
|
is a free, open-source program pgn-extract, which is designed to
|
|
support the processing, searching and extraction of chess games from
|
|
files written in PGN format. There are several ways to specify the
|
|
criteria on which to extract: textual move sequences, the position
|
|
reached after a sequence of moves, information in the tag fields, and
|
|
material balance in the ending. Full ANSI C source and a 32-bit
|
|
Windows binary for the program are available under the terms of the
|
|
GNU General Public License. The program includes a semantic analyser
|
|
which will report errors in game scores and it is also able to detect
|
|
duplicate games found in one or more of its input files.
|
|
|
|
The range of input move formats accepted is fairly wide and includes
|
|
recognition of lower-case piece letters for English and upper-case
|
|
piece letters for Dutch and German. The default output is in English
|
|
Standard Algebraic Notation (SAN), although there is some support for
|
|
output in different notations.
|
|
|
|
Extracted games may be written out either including or excluding
|
|
comments, NAGs, and variations. Games may be given ECO classifications
|
|
derived from the accompanying file eco.pgn, or a customised version
|
|
provided by the user.
|
|
|
|
Plus, lots of other useful features that have gradually found their
|
|
way into what was once a relatively simple program!
|
|
