A new thematic tournament is presented Tournament 3562: King's Gambit Accepted (1.e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3)
I would like very much participate this tournament, but there is a problem, a big one: The PGN files from the tournament will not be correct. So I would have to spend a lot of time to edit the PGN so it is insertable into my game database.
As an example of another thematic tournament i present this PGN (game in progress):

This game cannot be included in any database. No game can ever start with 1. Nd4b5, it's impossible. Why not include the first moves for completeness' sake?
So I have to pass this time - too. I envy all of you that don't bother over such a pettiness, but, still, the PGN is not correct and it demands a lot of manual labour to make it correct.
Sorry... have a nice time though, with a lot of nice games. I will follow all the games.

It would be easy to do this programmatically. In the meantime, if you are using FF, you can easily get the starting position FEN and manually add t

But what I really want is the starting moves inserted in the PGN move list. Then I really can use it in my move database.
In the KG case, why not insert 1.e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 in front of the moves, and let the move numbers be ajusted to its correct ones?
