Tool to extract parts of games from pgn file

[JohnS]

Hi Ferdy

I have another suggestion for the tool.

Is it possible to output the player ratings as well? Perhaps it is safer to output all the pgn fields that are in the input file.

Thanks.

Source was revised, but have not released yet the exe.
https://github.com/fsmosca/GameFragmentExtractor

If you have python and python-chess installed you can try it.

gfe.py -i <your input pgn file> -o <your output pgn file>

It works on my test.

Thanks for the update Ferdy. I will test it when you upload the exe file since I don't have the support programs required.

I am glad that it worked, since this is my first time handling the variations using python-chess modules .

Hi Ferdy

The following games cause problems and the tool doesn't work.

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2017.05.01"]
[Round "?"]
[White "W"]
[Black "B"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B00"]
[PlyCount "5"]
[SourceDate "2017.05.01"]
[SourceVersionDate "2017.05.01"]

1. e4 g5 2. d4 f6 {[#] a blunder} 3. Qh5# 1-0

This one has a text comment as well as the diagram symbol.

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2017.05.01"]
[Round "?"]
[White "W"]
[Black "B"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B00"]
[PlyCount "5"]
[SourceDate "2017.05.01"]
[SourceVersionDate "2017.05.01"]

1. e4 g5 2. d4 f6 3. Qh5# {[#]} 1-0

Here the diagram is at the end of the game.

Is it possible for the tool to deal with these cases?

Many thanks.

The first one is possible, but not sure about the second because that was already an end position, it would produce 2 same position, is it really needed?

Hi Ferdy

Sorry, my second example is poor because the game ends in mate. Here's a better but still silly example.

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2017.05.01"]
[Round "?"]
[White "W"]
[Black "B"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B00"]
[PlyCount "5"]
[SourceDate "2017.05.01"]
[SourceVersionDate "2017.05.01"]

1. e4 f6 2. d4 h6 3. Qh5+ {[#]} 1-0

So here the idea is to analyse from the last move to find out why Black resigned.

I hope this example is clearer.

Thanks.
John
