Typical waivers are:

• move comments are quite often in direct format (!,?,!? etc.) rather than in NAG format ($1 etc.)

• variants are often reported as comments, and they would be not browsable by viewers

• comments are often interlaced with the moves, without the required braces

• comments are often not synthesized into NAGs ("white wins" instead of $18 etc.)

• the STR (seven tag roster) is seldom used

• blank lines are used quite freely

• variants are in parenthesis, that can be round brackets, but also squared brackets etc.
