GUI to enter games in PGN format with most if not all possible tags?

Post by kaissa »

Hello,

I organized a tournament (humans only :)) and will distribute the games to participants. Most of my software enables me to enter date, names, ELO, place information but I would like to learn if there is a GUI that will help me enter the time control, round number, start time of the round and like.

My option now is to enter these manually via a text editor but wanted to learn if something like this exists before getting on to work.

Any changes to PGN standart that I found?:

Thank you for your time,

I'm not sure if I correctly understand the request, I think that in every GUI should be possible to enter extra tags.
In scid, when a game is a saved, there is "Extra Tags" where you can write for example:

Code: Select all

UTCDate "2021.08.02"
UTCTime "16:09:02"
Variant "Standard"
Opening "Richter-Veresov Attack"
Annotator "https://lichess.org/@/Broadcaster2"

Thank you. That really helps. Especially the "use last game's tags" is a time saver.
