Problem with saving games as PGN

Post by matematiko »

Hello all,

When I am one of the players, WinBoard saves the games correctly in PGN.

But when I am not playing, it seems to cut the first 3 half moves, and saves the games like this:

Is everybody having the same issue or is just me?

Is there a WinBoard setting to correct this?

Please note that to protect the inocent ( :hhh :hhh ) I changed the original players ID with whitesplayer and blacksplayer.

Thanks in advance,

- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.

Hi Mate. It happens to me too when Im not playing but observing games. I cant save these games separately cuz winboard gives me error, also I get error when I play black and I cant split my games using winboard, All games OK only when I play white.

Problem found and solved.

The problem dates back to the original YtoICS.pl

The solution will be included in the next YaY release (if there is ever one).

Cheers,
