Looking for Yahoo Chess Game Format
I got a comment about Yahoo chess game format is not supported by jsPGNViewer. Its true
. There are about 3 converters out there that convert the yahoo format to PGN. The support request had the game attached and I tried all the 3 solutions. None of them worked. The webbased javascript versions either produced JavaScript errors or did not produce any output. The standalone application run through wine just did not work.
I’m happy to support the yahoo game format (although the name clash, jsPGNviewer
). If anybody out there has a large collection of games in yahoo format I would be interested to use them as a testbed for the new functionality. Drop me a line in the comments…

Hi Kent,
Yup, I contacted the author about a year ago. He did not agree to release the code as open-source and I don’t want to include the code without permission. Although it is usable by anybody due to the nature of JavaScript.
He did not agree to give web-service access also to it. So basically I want an OSS converter that everybody can use without licensing questions
