I was looking around for a PGN parser and found Java-Chess. I pulled the latest code from the java-chess module in cvs and then used it to load a pgn file. It always chokes on the first space in the middle of the first ply. For instance, it finds unexpected token at the space in between "f4 d5" in the first move.
I went to a few sites and looked at different pgn files and they all have this problem. Some also have problems with unrecognized header text, but I can just normalize the data by deleting all the header text (anything between square brackets). But, I obviously can't use it if it won't parse the actual moves. Anyone know what the problem might be?
