re:New annotated games - 2006/05/07 20:59
I swapped the order of the two messages here, as I belive 'top posting' (where one responds to a comment before the comment) is not a good idea.
Whilst I've not checked the files myself (the poster says they are pgn, you say they are not), this again shows that files in chessbase format are a pain, and games should be in pgn. I can't read PGN files on my main computer either (a Sun Ultra 80). I admit the Sun is a bit more rare, but once again this shows we should not be posting files in chessbase format. Many people can't read them, or do so with difficulty. As I've said before, sooner or later chessbase is not going to exist as a product (Wordstar, Wordperfect, Lotus 123 were all popular at one time, but now are effectively dead products). At least with pgn, it is simple.
Only today I had a problem in scid (the first I would admit) when I seemed unable to delete some duplicate games. It was easy to export all games as pgn, edit the file with a text editor and read them back in. Try doing that with a binary file, such as a chessbase file, and you will find it is impossible..
