pgn file exported is not fully compatible with lichess

from time to time, I export games from chess.com to lichess through pgn.

  • by using direct "share", it works fine. (i.e. copy paste pgn directly from chess.com to lichess).
  • however, if I download the game as a pgn file and then import to lichess, often time, part of game is truncated.

It seems due to the special symbol "☒", which decorates a "miss" step. e.g. The following snippets are from the same game: the first one is from direct "share" (which uses $9 for a miss), and the second one from "download" (which uses ☒ for a miss). 

  • 47. Kf3 $2 f5 $9 48. g5 $2 Qxg5 $9 
  • 47. Kf3? {[%c_effect
    f3;square;f3;type;Mistake;persistent;true]} 47... f5 ☒ 48. g5? {[%c_effect
    g5;square;g5;type;Mistake;persistent;true]} 48... Qxg5 ☒

Misses are still beta only, I would post about this in the beta forums. Haha and maybe don’t tell them your using lichess wink
