What is the ICCF's official PGN format for reporting games?

[Event "EM/M/A076"] <- your tournament section number
[Site "ICCF Email"] <- "ICCF" for postal cc games
[Date "1999.08.15"] <- start date of the section, yyyy/mm/dd
[Round "?"] <- in a multi-round tournament, the round number
[White "Anonymous, Andy (ENG)"] <- last and first name, country code
[Black "Noname, Ned (HUN)"] <- last and first name, country code
[Result "1-0"] <- 1-0 , 0-1 , 1/2-1/2
[ECO "A08"] <- ECO Code - if unsure: [ECO ""]
[WhiteElo "2155"] <- ELO rating for White
[BlackElo "2390"] <- ELO rating for Black
[PlyCount "53"] <- total number of move pairs x 2
[EventDate "1999.??.??"]<- date section started, yyyy

Moves may also be reported using standard ICCF Numeric notation.

Anyone who is involved in ICCF Chess should report their games to the TD in the above format (without the explanations of course). Reporting in any format other than the above will delay YOUR games making it into the archive. Click here to download the ICCF standard header template in .txt format.
