Pgn crash course

Question

Where I can find a fast smart pgn file format help ? You can find here the complete headache details of the format.

Consider expanding your question a bit. What do you mean by fast? Just a high-level overview or something that reads nicer on the eyes than the spec/standards? For instance, would you be requiring this for programming/software development etc.? — shivsky, Dec 27, 2013 at 1:27
@shivsky something that reads nicer for manually editing files (correctly of course). But for software development I would do the same: initially it must work for simple pgn files, only the final release should work over the spec, maybe (I tested 2 sites today that don't know about variations) — Liviu, Dec 27, 2013 at 2:24
