"It was generated by lichess though ... lichess.org/game/export/cu7qVvMI?evals=0&clocks=0 is the link"

If you click that link, here's what you get:

Which looks completely correct to me, and not at all like the broken PGN you posted. Which was certainly not generated by lichess.
Thank you, I better repair my ChessBase GUI.
Btw a huge compliment: the open source project > product ChessBase

Please continue the great work!

@EASON10 , in our training session we play important positions from great masters. This game is Capablanca-Vidmar 1927, and it is about playing f3, in order to restrict the bishop b7 via the pawn chain g2-f3-e4.

Meanwhile, I "fixed" the problem.

An ChessBase16 update made a pgn with [Variant "From Position"] to a not working pgn. After I downloaded this pgn, I opened it in my editor and deleted every [Variant "From Position"], now it does work in my GUI.

"Hello Mr.

This is no longer possible in CB16.6 because the detection of 960 games has been improved. That was important. It is all the more important that the field [Variant] is not used for things that do not belong there.

Best regards
