About This Tool

A PGN editor and validator to create, edit, and verify chess games in Portable Game Notation. It supports standard headers, comments, variations, and NAGs. The tool parses PGN text, checks header completeness, validates move notation, and preserves metadata during edits. Conceptually, it treats a game as a tagged header block followed by a move sequence, ensuring structural integrity and proper formatting. Beneficiaries include players who prep study material, coaches who organize training games, and analysts who import games into databases. The editor’s value lies in enforcing consistency, catching syntax errors early, and enabling clean exports for publication or sharing.

How to Use

  1. Prepare headers and metadata by entering Event, Site, Date, Round, White, Black, and Result.
  2. Paste or type PGN moves into the moves field, including comments and variations if needed.
  3. Run validation to check syntax, header completeness, and move legality.
  4. Review flagged issues and correct them in-place; add annotations as required.
  5. Save, export, or import games for sharing and study.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What inputs are required?
At minimum, provide the headers Event, Site, Date, Round, White, Black, and Result, plus a moves section. Additional headers and comments improve metadata quality and searchability in databases.
Can I validate move legality against a position?
The validator checks syntax and basic move formatting, including proper numbering and parentheses for variations. It does not run a chess engine; for legality beyond notation, use a separate engine or board visualization.
How are errors reported?
Errors appear as structured reports listing missing headers, date format issues, unbalanced comments, or invalid move tokens. Each issue includes a location hint to guide corrections.
Can I export multiple games?
Yes. The tool supports exporting single or multiple PGN entries, preserving headers, move text, and annotations. Exports can be saved as standard PGN files suitable for databases and sharing.
