Thus e2-e4 is 5254. An opening might look like 1. 5254 5756 2. 4244 4745 3. 2133 6824 would be the French Winawer. Everybody I know hates this notation, and many agree to use algebraic notation and not tell anybody. It's very easy to make a clerical and lose a game. After going through all this we have to rewrite the game in pgn notation for submission. I was hoping there might be a program of some sort that could do that.
