The new Chessmaster 8000 saves pgn files with the following date tag - [Date "11-29-2000"] According to the pgn standard, this is incorrect. Following is the correct date tag format taken from the pgn standard text file. Examples: [Date "1992.08.31"] [Date "1993.??.??"] [Date "2001.01.01"] 8.1.1.3: The Date tag The Date tag value gives the starting date for the game. The date is given with respect to the local time of the site given in the Event tag. The Date tag value field always uses a standard ten character format: "YYYY.MM.DD". The first four characters are digits that give the year, the next character is a period, the next two characters are digits that give the month, the next character is a period, and the final two characters are digits that give the day of the month. If the any of the digit fields are not known, then question marks are used in place of the digits.
