In PGN standard 1994.03.12 at "8.2.3.3: Basic SAN move construction", one can read : "Pawn promotions are denoted by the equal sign "=" immediately following the destination square with a promoted piece letter (indicating one of knight, bishop, rook, or queen) immediately following the equal sign. " But maybe you should consider accepting the faulty syntax without the "=" sign, because : - it's the way Chessbase exports games to PGN (...sighing...) - it is not easy to correct this "by hand" - other engines (Yace, Pharaon, ...) seem to accept the "relaxed" syntax Marc
