Sorry, but for now you will have to patch the tex file manually.
I hope you can follow me talking in terms of structure (and my story
probably holds only for a game without variations):
Within the "\begin{chess}" just below the top of the file and the
"\end{chess}" at the end of the file, you need three types of blocks
1. Comments are between "\begin{nochess}" and "\end{nochess}". This is
OK now.
2. Moves are between "\begin{tabular}{p{1cm}p{2cm}p{2cm}}" and
"\end{tabular}". You need to correct this manually. Currently a begin
tabular immediately follows the start of the chess block. This must be
removed, just as the end tabular just before the end of the chess block.
Within a move block "\\" are placed to make a new line. No new line
after the last line of the block. This is OK now.
If the block ends with a white move, the second "&" (column separator to
a blank black move) is missing. Add this manually.
3. Diagrams are between "\begin{diagram}" and "\end{diagram}". This is
OK now.
Finally, ensure that all the blocks (of any of the 3 types) are
separated by at least one blank line. Currently this not handled well in
all cases. Extra "\\" symbols in between the blocks can be removed.
I hope this helps!
And yes, repairing this in scid is a nasty job :-(
Nevertheless, thanks for reporting!
Having said this, if you disable the column style move output, you will
see acceptable pdf; albeit not the one you may like....
Cheers,
Joost.
