First i removed the [White "?"] tag. Then replaced [Opening " with [White ". Next i replaced Variation " with Black "?"]. After importing into a chessbase database, the opening names are shown in the White field. For example, instead of this ... [Event "ACO Analysis"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "?"] [Opening "Anderssen Opening"] [Variation "Anderssen Opening"] [Result "*"] [ECO "A00"] [PlyCount "?"] 1.a3 * It now looks like this ... [Event "ACO Analysis"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Anderssen Opening"] [Black "?"] [Result "*"] [ECO "A00"] [PlyCount "?"] 1.a3 * Regards Dave
