Worked out the problem. The Houdini PGN files have <div> & </div> tags (used to group block-elements to format them with CSS) all over the place that are not recognised/removed by the RPB Chessboard Plugin. Also Houdini PGN file has a space after the move number and dot (e.g 1.[space]e4 instead of 1.e4). So there is a manual rather tedious work around to solve the problem(s) or you need to develop a script to “fix” each Houdini PGN output file. However I still consider this to be a bug that should be fixed.

Hi,
I’m quite surprised that Houdini cannot output “standard” PGN files. Would it be possible to get an example of one of those files, to see what can be done at the plugin to handle those files correctly ?
By the way, the syntax “1.[space]e4” works for sure. (unless Houdini’s spaces are not regular spaces)
Hi jo35,
Thanks for responding.
I replied to the follow up email I received from WordPress on Sunday. It has an example of a Houdini PGM file attached. Not sure if this is the right procedure? If not please let me know.
I meant Houdini PGN file with FEN position string and moves.

I didn’t receive your email, I think the WordPress.org forum does allow files to be attached to post answers.
Could you try my direct mail address? (see “contact the author” at the bottom of the plugin main page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rpb-chessboard/)
