In the following: 8/5pk1/8/7P/4K3/8/4B3/8 w - - 0 1 the 0 1 is not the score, it is (From Steven J. Edwards PGN Standard)... 16.1.3.5: Halfmove clock The fifth field is a nonnegative integer representing the halfmove clock. This number is the count of halfmoves (or ply) since the last pawn advance or capturing move. This value is used for the fifty move draw rule. 16.1.3.6: Fullmove number The sixth and last field is a positive integer that gives the fullmove number. This will have the value "1" for the first move of a game for both White and Black. It is incremented by one immediately after each move by Black. >Also in your game the position posted is LG to move so why would >Nimzo at this point resign?.
