The PGN specification section 8.2.6 says that the value in the "Result" tag should be repeated at the end of the movetext:
Each movetext section has exactly one game termination marker; the marker always occurs as the last element in the movetext. The game termination marker is a symbol that is one of the following four values: "1-0" (White wins), "0-1" (Black wins), "1/2-1/2" (drawn game), and "*" (game in progress, result unknown, or game abandoned). Note that the digit zero is used in the above; not the upper case letter "O". The game termination marker appearing in the movetext of a game must match the value of the game's Result tag pair. (While the marker appears as a string in the Result tag, it appears as a symbol without quotes in the movetext.)
So this behavior seems entirely correct to me.
Thanks for the link to the spec. Perusing it I learned that a "*" symbol ought to be used do show an incomplete game.
This ought to parse (can't check at the moment):
[Event "Live Chess"]
[Site "Chess.com"]
[Date "2017.11.12"]
[White "piguik"]
[Black "Epigene"]
[Result "0-1"]

[BlackElo "1375"]
[TimeControl "300"]

Hi!
The gem (v0.2.0) seems unable to parse incomplete games. Adding a result portion solves this.
