Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:20 EST
Description of problem: Chess can't load this file: http://www.pgnmentor.com/players/Tal.zip when unzipped to a single file, or other similar files from other locations. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. wget http://www.pgnmentor.com/players/Tal.zip 2. unzip ... 3. In Chess, file/open/ choose the file Actual results: "chess" can't open the file, it complains "unknown character '..' where the two dots represent two characters I can't type on this keyboard. Reportedly http://jorton.fedorapeople.org/eboard/ can open the game. Expected results: To be able to open the file and do something sensible, ideally choose & view games and maintain some history of games seen. Additional info:
I think you've picked the wrong component, which chess application are you using exactly? (try help -> about)
glchess 2.20.1. It's listed as "chess" in the KDE menu.
Ah, thats part of gnome-games, changing components. Also I'm upstreaming this, as I believe this bug is best handled upstream. The upstream bug report for this is here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492621
