Cross-tables ... Norm Pollock statistics, a big problem!

[Frank Quisinsky]

Hi there,

I can give a *.pgn file and tools give me the answere of many questions.
All is wonderful ...

But what I missed is to to that round-by-round.

Have a look here:
This one I have to do for FCP Tourney-2022.
And all this for different compatibility reasons with Chessbase PGN and at second I do the same with Chess-Explorer, ChessPad and the "CleanUp" tool by Norm ...

52x Chess-Base PGN
52x Chess-Pad PGN

104 pgn files for 26 rounds I have to create for statistics.



If I give a tools like summary, resultlist, ecolist or others (tools from Norm Pollack) a complex *.pgn file it would be wonderful if I get the statsitics round-by-round .. if I wish ... for every round in new *.txt files.

Same for the cross-tables.
So I have not working on all the *.pgn files for a complex tournament (I lost here many time to do that).

Cross-table:
Somu by Ed can do it, ChessBase database can do it but no program can do it round-by-round with "One" *.pgn file only.

With other words:
A *.pgn file, included are 50 rounds for an example, should be able to give me a cross-table for all 50 rounds and 50 cross-tables for each of the rounds in 50 new *.txt files. Such things I missed here for each of the tools, summary, resultlist, ecolist and so one, the somu tool by Ed and many other tools we have.

double posting, sorry!

Hi Frank,

To separate a pgn file into rounds, you would use 2 tools in 40H-tools.

First, you need to know the names of the rounds, which you probably know. In case you did not know:

tagValue alpha.pgn Round

the output is in file "outVal" which can be read by a text editor

Second, to extract the games of a round:

tagExtract alpha.pgn Round "value"

for example
tagExtract alpha.pgn Round "1.1"

the output is in outT.pgn

You would have to do this for each Round.

I hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that you have to rename the output file after each use of pgnExtract, otherwise it will be overwritten by the next execution of pgnExtract.

For example:

pgnExtract alpha.pgn Round "1"
ren outT.pgn T1.pgn
