<P>Plays a game from a record file. A popup dialog prompts you for the filename. If the file contains more than one game, a second popup dialog displays a list of games (with information drawn from their PGN tags, if any), and you can select the one you want.</P>\r

-<P>The game file parser will accept PGN (portable game notation), or in fact almost any file that contains moves in algebraic notation. Notation of the form <I>P@f7</I> is accepted for piece-drops in bughouse games; this is a nonstandard extension to PGN. If the file includes a PGN position (FEN tag), or a WinBoard position diagram bracketed by "[--" and "--]" before the first move, the game starts from that position. Text enclosed in parentheses, square brackets, or curly braces is assumed to be commentary and is displayed in a pop-up window. Any other text in the file is ignored. PGN variations (enclosed in parentheses) are treated as comments; WinBoard is not able to walk variation trees. The nonstandard PGN tag <CODE>[Variant "varname"]</CODE> functions similarly to the <A HREF="18.htm#variant">variant</A> command-line option, allowing games in certain chess variants to be loaded. There is also a heuristic to recognize chess variants from the <CODE>Event</CODE> tag, by looking for the strings that the Internet Chess Servers put there when saving variant ("wild") games.</P>\r
