Are you sure? This would be language dependent. I thought it would be just a fifth digit, e.g. 17184, where 4=Q, 3=R, 2=B, 1=N. It's been a while and my ICCF rule sheet is at home. Just trying to think of the best way to do it. I think it would be best to start with a text file, paste in PGN headers, fill them in, then type in the moves in numeric notation. Put a bunch of games in one file, then convert to "computer algebraic", then import to a program which can understand this, then export to real PGN. Does this make sense?
