tool to graph time usage from PGNs

[AndrewGrant]

I'm looking for a tool that can plot the time usage data contained within a PGN file.

Does such a tool exist?

I was going to write something up in python, but would prefer to save myself the time.

Thanks,
Andrew Grant

I don't know how do you present the game/plot, but one idea is to revise the format of comment of a game in a pgn, then view it with Fritz chessbase software.
Load the pgn with modified comment format then enable the evaluation profile.

Top line curves are time, Line below are the depth, the bars are evaluation.



Convert the pgn to look like the following.

Code: Select all

1. e4 {[%eval 33,22] [%emt 0:00:42] Both last book
move} e5 {[%eval 10,23] [%emt 0:01:31]} 2. Nf3 {[%eval 23,22] [%emt 0:00:41] 
(Nc3)} Nc6 {[%eval 37,22] [%emt 0:01:17] (d6)} 3. Bb5 {[%eval 22,22] [%emt 0:
00:56]} Nf6 {[%eval 42,22] [%emt 0:01:10]} 4. O-O {[%eval 33,22] [%emt 0:00:25]
} Bc5 {[%eval 58,22] [%emt 0:01:30] (Be7)} 5. c3 {[%eval 59,21] [%emt 0:00:28]
(Nxe5)} O-O {[%eval 22,23] [%emt 0:01:27] (Be7)}

Code: Select all

[%eval 33,22]

eval = 33cp, depth = 22, score is WPOV (+score is better for white, -score is better for black)

Code: Select all

[%emt 0:00:42]

elapsed move time in h:mm:ss

I can do this but have no time at the moment. You can go ahead and create it. Then maybe add a link to chess tools indicated by gbtami, to save tools/links in one place.
