Can we have the ability to parse a PNG so I don`t have to manually copy and paste each game from a file with more than 1 game?
OCRs have always been pretty poor, I think it's out of the scope of the project to include them. You can have a local one if you wish. Honestly, it isn't that hard to just open a PGN in your text editor and Select All, Copy then Paste.
That was not what I meant,if i copy more than one game lichess says invalid png.
If i go here http://www.pgnmentor.com/players/Fischer/ and download that pgn i cant import it,only game by game.
Oh right. The format is called PGN. PNG is an image format.
I believe that is not allowed on purpose, as it was a DoS vector. In other words, if lichess allowed imports of lots of games, it can be used for an attack on the site. Sorry about that...
A minor issue,thanks for a great chess site.
Hmm doubt they didnt implement it because of security reasons because they could add a simple maximum games barrier which makes the parsing algorithm stop. They probably just did not implement it because then a mechanism to switch between these games would have to be implemented.
Also, as already said in another post, lichess is not a chess database. Use eg Scid or Chessbase etc for that.
