Hi Winboarders,
Ever downloaded tournaments from Franks site, Then find that
Frank's name is on every _single_ _game_ in the PGN file !.
well, i've just found a superb little utility that will
clean up these unwanted tags, and turn this:-
[Event "Larsen, ML-8, P II 266, 16-20 HT"]
[Site "Denmark, 40/20"]
[Date "2000.03.18"]
[Round "1.1"]
[White "Ant 4.16"]
[Black "Sjeng 6.0"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B12"]
[PlyCount "111"]
[EventDate "2000.??.??"]
[Source "Frank Quisinsky"]
into this:-
[Event "Larsen, ML-8, P II 266, 16-20 HT"]
[Site "Denmark, 40/20"]
[Date "2000.03.18"]
[Round "1.1"]
[White "Ant 4.16"]
[Black "Sjeng 6.0"]
[Result "1-0"]
The program is "extract" by David Barnes, Only downloaded it
yesterday - but finding it very useful for working with PGN
files, other features include adding eco codes:-
[Event "Larsen, ML-8, P II 266, 16-20 HT"]

[White "Ant 4.16"]
[Black "Sjeng 6.0"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "C02"]
[Opening "French"]
[Variation "advance, Steinitz variation"]
