Why do you prefer PGNs rather than FENs for this? I also use XBoard and shell scripts for running such matches, and as far as I can tell PGNs are just as easy to use as FENs. Just replace -lpf with -lgf and -lpi with -lgi in your script, and everything should work. >There are some pretty interesting positions in the 40 position suite by the way, >positions that look very tame but where one side can offer a gambit that makes >things turn quite wild, quite quickly. Yes, they look interesting. I'll try using the Silver positions rather than the Noomen positions from now on. Albert, thanks for your work! Tord
