PGN FormatThe PGN-Format is a widespread standard file format for exchanging chess games files. A file may contain more than one game.Example:
[Event "Paris"]
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 {Winawer plays his variation.} 4. exd5 exd5 5. Bd3
Be6 6. Nf3 h6 $6 7. O-O Bxc3 $6 8. bxc3 Nd7 9. Rb1 Nb6 10. Ne5 Ne7 11. f4 Bf5
Arena can read Chess 960 games in PGN format. The tag pair section should be separated by an empty line followed by the moves and there should be an empty line between the PGN-games if there are several in a PGN-file "O-O" and "O-O-O" (letters) and not "0-0" and "0-0-0" (zeroes) should be used for castling and "Date" should be YYYY.MM.DD id est for example 2007.01.13 and NOT 2007/01/13 nor 2007/1/13 nor 2007-01-13 (ISO 8601) and the "Result" should be either "0-1","1-0" or "1/2-1/2" for finished games to avoid problems with PGN game parsing.
