Subject: fixing pgn files

I downloaded pgncomplete12_2002  in
http://perso.club-internet.fr/pasparis/current.html

I find the following games

[Event "TG-2001-0-14130"]
[Site "IECG"]
[Date "2001.04.22"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Riker, James"]
[Black "Mathes, Christian"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[PlyCount "34"]
[EventDate "2001.??.??"]
[SourceDate "2000.01.01"]

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e5 Nfd7 6. f4 a6 7. Nf3 O-O 8. a3 c5
9. Ne2 Nc6 10. c3 cxd4 {Nxd4  Re8  Bd3  Qb6} 11. f5 Bxg5 12. Nxg5 Ndxe5 13.
fxe6 Nd3+ 14. Qxd3 g6 15. O-O Bxe6 16. Kh1 {Nxd4  cxd4} 16... Bf5 17. Qf3 {
Re7  Qxd5  Rd8  Qc5  Qxc5  dxc5  Rd2  b4  Ree2  Nf3  Ra2  Nd4  Rf2  Kg1  Rxa1
Rxa1  Rf4  Nxf5  Rxf5  Rd1  Re5  Rd7  Re1+  Kf2  Ra1  Rxb7  Rxa3  c6  Rc3 c7}
17... Kg7 {Ra7  Rc1} 1/2-1/2

My guess is that the sides simply forgot to write Nexd4 and the program that was
used translated Nxd4 to comment

fxe6 Nd3+ 16. Qxd3 g6 17. O-O Bxe6 18. Kh1 Nxd4  19.cxd4 Bf5 20. Qf3

Rf2  27.Kg1  Rxa1
28.Rxa1  Rf4  29.Nxf5  Rxf5  30.Rd1  Re5  31.Rd7  Re1+  32.Kf2  Ra1  33.Rxb7
Rxa3  34.c6  Rc3 35.c7 Kg7 36.Ra7  Rc1 1/2-1/2


The next illegal game that I find in that pgn is the following game  between 2
players that were too lazy to write their name  and it seems that they were also
too lazy to write all the moves.

Can you find the missing moves?

[Event "TG-2001-0-14350"]
[Site "IECG"]
[Date "2001.11.26"]
[Round "1"]
[White "?"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[PlyCount "13"]
[EventDate "2001.??.??"]
[SourceDate "2000.01.01"]

{cxd4  Nc6} 1. Nf3 e6 2. Nc3 Bb4 {Bd3  Qa5  Bd2  Nf6} 3. a3 Be7 4. b4 {Qd8  Be3
} 4... Bd6 5. O-O a6 6. Ne4 h6 {Rc1  Nxe4  Bxe4  Ne7} 7. Ne5 *

I could not find the missing moves but maybe I am not smart enough so I leave
the challange to you.

Note that there are more errors in the pgn but I mentioned only the first
errors.
