From: "Bernhard C. März" arcor de> Date: 28 aug 2007 Subject: RE: Definition of PSN notation Obviously, there was no attention to create an exact PSN specification. It seems, that only at the beginning there was some work. You can see the specification for example here: http://www.shogi.net/shogi-l/Archive/2002/Nsep29-03.txt But this specification is very limited, so different persons make=20 different improvements. For example you can reed the improvements by Eric here: http://lists.topica.com/lists/shogi/read/message.html?mid=3D812599408 Also GSDB seems to add new Tags. For people speaking French (not me), the following page could be=20 interesting: http://shogifrance.fr-bb.com/Forums-Shogi-France-c2/Le-Shogi-Meli-melo-f11/= Les-logiciels-de-Kifu-t22-15.htm Also non French speaking can see an example with different tags, like=20 for example "Black_grade" - "SenteGrade" It should be time, to create an EXACT (PSN?) game format for shogi=20 without limitations. But at the other side I ask, if this is really needed, because with=20 "Kifu for Windows" we have a powerful format: KIF > * The possible headers. On my website, I am only using [Black ""],=20 > [White ""], [Event ""] and [Date ""], but I know there are many more=20 > like [Opening ""], [Site ""] and shogi-specific ones like [Handicap ""]. I didn't found any specification, but you can use the Tags from GSDB or=20 MacShogi. > * How is the handicap header defined? For example, is two piece handicap= =20 >=20 > described as [Handicap "Two piece"], [Handicap "Rook, bishop"] or even= =20 > differently? This should be answered with the "initial" PSN description (link above).= =20 Also there is the description of the FEN-Tag. > * How should the time be added to the moves? You can use Eric's format or create your own. > Any help is appreciated. I hope this words have done at least a little bit in your way.
