In Response To: How to import nackgammon match to XG? (aoleg1)

There is now standard for extra information in MAT file. In your case aoleg1 you can add the line:
; [Variation "NackGammon"]
at the top of the MAT file.

Here are the different elements that XG will recognize if they are placed on the top of the file.

; [Site "eXtreme Gammon"]
; [Match ID "-246338669"]
; [Player 1 "XG Roller+"]
; [Player 2 "Xavier Dufaure de Citres"]
; [Player 1 Elo "2260.00/400"]
; [Player 2 Elo "1955.94/281"]
; [EventDate "2009.12.16"]
; [EventTime "09.16"]
; [Variation "NackGammon"]
; [Unrated "Off"]
; [Crawford "On"]
; [Jacoby "Off"]
; [Beaver "Off"]
; [CubeLimit "1024"]
; [Currency "USD"]
; [Stake "30.00"]
; [Rake "1.00"]
; [Event "Great tourney"]
; [Round "Round 2"]

most are pretty self explanatory, however:

• Elo is stored as "Elo/Exp"
• Variation can be "Backgammon", "NackGammon", "HyperGammon" or "LongGammon", however only the first 2 can be analyzed.
• Currency can be USD (US dollar) ,EUR (Euro) ,GBP (UK pound), JPY (Japanese Yen), CHF (Swiss franc), CAD (Canadian dollar). If you want to add more check the file "c:\program files\extreme gammon\currency.ini". the Currency should appear before the Stake or Rake line
• if no matchID is found it will assign one based on the file timestamp. it means that modifying the file and reimporting it will create a different entry in the profile.
• Rake: in the above example it means that the winner gets $30-$1=$29 and the loser -$30-$1=-$31. (the word “Fee” can be use rather than “Rake”)
• [CubeLimit "1"] can be used to make the session cubeless.
• Date and time are stored as "yyyy.mm.dd" and "HH.mm" (HH is 24 hour based)
