PGN Viewer 1.3 is a small Macintosh chess program by Dave Airey of Cornell University's Department of Psychology, posted to Info-Mac in March 1995. It loads games stored in Portable Game Notation - the plain-text format used by virtually every chess database - and lets you step through them move by move on a graphical board.
What it does
Open a PGN file and the viewer walks the moves on a standard 8x8 board, with controls for stepping forward and back through the game. It is a viewer rather than an analysis tool: there is no engine evaluation or move suggestion, just clean playback.
What's new in 1.3
Version 1.3 added "some useful alerts" for malformed input and a board-flip option, so you can review a game from Black's perspective as well as White's. The author submitted it to the recent / games directory of Info-Mac.
