not able to download tournament games appropriately

Hi guys,

we perform some tournaments with specified and fixed positions.
Usually, when a tournament is over, you can click on "download all games of the tournament" and you'll receive all games as a pgn file.
But in our last training/tournament session, the pgn file didn't work. For example, we played games like Capablanca - Vidmar, 1927, starting in move 23 with White to play.

One game went like this and the pgn in lichess gives:

[Event "Läufer Einschränken Arena"]

But downloading this game leads to this presentation:

Since we've played such tournaments for a year now, I can say that this error is new and did not appear in May. It would be very kind of you if you fixed the problem! :)

Thanks, Philipp Müller

Hm, it seems to work fine for me? Maybe there was some weird temporary issue?

That PGN seems extremely strange. "Variant illegal", "EventDate 2021.??.??" and UCI notation instead of SAN.

Is there a chance the pgn download has some issues because of the "ä", "ö" or "ü" - the tournament name was "Läufer Einschränken Arena"? Shall I forgo vowel mutations?

No. The second game PGN you posted certainly wasn't generated by Lichess. Where did you get it from?

it works for me

Me too

same here @Schachhorizont_de

It was generated by lichess though ...
lichess.org/game/export/cu7qVvMI?evals=0&clocks=0 is the link when I klick on "Download unkommentiert" on lichess.org/cu7qVvMI/black#1

or

lichess.org/api/tournament/O7JlJIxI/games is the link when I klick on "Download all games" on
lichess.org/tournament/O7JlJIxI

Or can it be a bug in my GUI (Chessbase16)?

Thanks for your help!

it might work
