Move 13 for white is one problem. The problem is that games that are for download in the internet often do not use the pgn standard I downloaded this game in the following link(used scid to get pgn from more compressed format) http://www.freewebs.com/pc-chess/Free%20Downloads.htm Note that I did not downloaded most of the games and I downloaded only the first 2000 games and used the default option to translate them to pgn by scid(the first time that I use that program). After opening the database with scid I used tools->export all filter games to pgn file The mistake of using xx.move instead of using space seems to be a bug in scid because scid exported the games to pgn file and it produced the wrong file based on compressed pgn. I used the default option and maybe the pgn is better by changing export comments,export variations,Indent variations,symbolic annotation style from yes to no I want to calculate some statistics on pgn files and I do not like to get errors in reading them.
