Game Header Editor

The game header editor is a 2-column table which assigns to values to header elements. The PGN standard lists the supported header elements. The header elements of 7-tag roster, i.e. Event, Site, Date, Round, White, Black and Result, are mandatory.

• Result, Annotator, PlyCount

• any kind of opening information, i.e. Opening, Variation, SubVariation, ECO, NIC
