RE: [Bug-gnubg] Joining or including .sgf games

[Albert Silver]

Your suggestion to look at it with a text editor gave me an idea. I
figured I'd just edit the move alone in the notation. To make it easier
to identify, I erased the analysis of the move and the ones following it
(of course using a backup of the file). The thing is I have no idea what
the codes that follow it mean so I cannot enter the correct move played.
Here is the relevant part:

The issue is with the first move that has no analysis. It wasn't a 61 it
was a 51. That much is easy to fix. How do I enter the move played
though: 7/1 (or 7/2 2/1 or 7/6 6/1)?
