ChessNotate

A simple PGN app that captures chess notation from score sheets and fixes mistakes. It highlights errors while preserving the original moves, letting users verify whether a fix also corrects the remaining moves, unlike existing PGN parsers that stop at the first error and discard the rest.

Last shared For Chess players recording game notation, including the author and his son at a recent chess tournament
