PGN game uploader

[GaryRussell]

I've finished my first rough draft of a PGN upload facility.  Simply go to http://www.lrchess.org/postPGN.php and copy your PGN into the text box.  After you click the button, it will run a validation on the PGN.  Not only does it check for incorrect formatting, it also finds rule violations (trying to castle after moving the king, moving the black bishop to a white square, etc.).  If the PGN passes validation, it will automagically appear in the games viewer.

Please try it out.  This is my first release so I'm sure there are a million bugs.  If you find them, I will fix them.

It doesn't handle comments and variations right now.   That's a huge problem and one that I didn't even realize existed until I tried to play with it.  I'll have another release of it that will take care of those issues.

Kirk,

Can you send me the PGN (or post it here)?

I've just found the PGN game uploader and have tried to upload some of the games I'd previously posted.  Sorry I hadn't seen how to do that before.  Thanks Gary, for including this.  It's a great feature for the board!  I'm curious.  How long does the validating PGN... take until the game uploads?  I've been sitting on it for about 1o minutes wondering if it was working.  Probably my computer, or something in the game that isn't quite right...

Unfortunately, like most other sections of this board, I have been woefully negligent of the PGN uploader.  I'm going to try to dedicate some time to it in the coming days/weeks to get it going.

I may switch to a different pgn engine alltogether, if I can find a better one.
