gametree-half-ply-regexp is a customizable variable defined in gametree.el.gz.

Value

":"

Documentation

Matches ends of numbers of moves by the "second" player.

For instance, it is an almost universal convention in chess to postfix numbers of moves by Black (if considered in isolation) by the ellipsis
"...". This is NOT a good choice for this program, though, because it
conflicts with the use of ellipsis by Outline mode to denote collapsed subtrees. The author uses ":" because it agrees nicely with a set of LaTeX macros he uses for typesetting annotated games.
