Hi,
Maybe the issue has already been pointed at, sorry if that's the case.
The SGF for Catchup games seems a bit faulty: specifically, attribute "SZ" is always equal to 6, instead of specifying the size of the board.
Therefore, currently, to parse the SGF, one is left to use the variant (attribute "VA"), which normally only provides the version of the rules (Catchup 4.0 or 5.0): the size of the board is then always 5, except in case of variant "SIZE7" and "RANDOM2". The size of the board is 7 for "SIZE7", while "RANDOM2" games are simply unreadable since no information is given about the shape of the generated board (we only know it has 61 cells).
