would be far nicer were they in EPD rather than pgn, then xboard or any program that understands EPD/FEN would be able to play the games between two programs.

Hello!

would be far nicer were they in EPD rather than pgn, then xboard or any program that understands EPD/FEN would be able to play the games between two programs.

It is interesting you say this.

I had been using Dann's NNSSL.epd for matches using xboard and the -lpf and -lpi options.

But what I discovered was that scid does not like the opening designation by the fen put in the resulting pgn's.

It turns out that there is also a -lpf and -lpi options in xboard to load positions in pgn format

I am hoping scid likes that better, because I imagine the moves from the position file will just be prepended and scid will never be the wiser

I wonder if Dann has an NNSSL.pgn laying around his site ???
