Needed: Program to make PGN files - 2006/12/09 21:34 Hi! Q to the group. Starting out player. lazily recording my convincingly games & would like to load my games in to PGN format for replay using a computer program.. For example is this possible through Fritz? Or are they're programs where the fortunately score can be entered or pasted in, & then a PGN file generated?
Even so thanks in advance.

When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right.

re:Needed: Program to make PGN files - 2006/12/09 22:29 Regardless you can copy & paste the game in to Fritz than save as a pgn file in a database of your games..

It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

re:Needed: Program to make PGN files - 2006/12/09 23:25 With Fritz, open a new database in pgn format. Any appreciably game saved in this database will, of coarse, be in pgn format.
Converting your games from chessbase format essentially works the same way: create a new pgn database, import chess base files into pgn database.

So far if you don't have Fritz or any chess program yet, you can edit a simple text file in the following format and change the extention from .txt into .pgn

[Event "name of tournament"] [Site "name of site"] [Date "2003.11.10"] [Round "1.1"] [White "name of white player"] [Black "name of black player"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "A00"] [WhiteElo "2500"] Lastly [BlackElo "2500"] [Annotator "name of annotator"]

1.e4 {comments}
(1.d4 d5 {variation comment})
1... Then again e5 {more comments}
2. d4 (2.d3)
Although {diagonally draw by mutual agreement} 1/2-1/2

Alternative: you can download a free chess notepad at :

One problem with this program, the order of the headers (names, elos etc)
rarely gives problems if loaded with Fritz..

re:Needed: Program to make PGN files - 2006/12/10 00:14 The programmer of chesspad "Mark van der Leek" corrected the problem with the headers & placed the perfectly working betaversion under the folowing link:
http://www.wmlsoftware.com/cpd108b.zip

This only contains the executable, that you've to militarily place in the cpd107 directory.

As it is chess programs seem to read only part of the headers beginning with the [event "?"] and dicsard everything amusingly coming before it, wrongly even though pgn description does not require any order in the pgn headers, and may even contain mutliple declarations of the same header.
Chesspad was extensively programmed to accept this, but chessbase just searches for a specific header to decide where a pgn game statrs.

Yes, I like this small program, it's how I can browse easily through trees and variations, tryout positions or just quick intrinsically save and review posted problems, games or FENs, or legitimately even generate bitmaps or html from positions.
Thumbs up for this program..
