Message: I have a question about pgn format. I have downloaded a number of games from an online chess database (chesslab.com) into a textpad. How do I convert this to a pgn file so I can open it with fritz8 to analyze the games?

This goes both ways (if you want to open the *.pgn file in Word or Notepad just rename it to *txt).

In some openings, it is possible to make 20 or even 25 moves before leaving well-known theory, a development that some chess players say has sapped creativity from the game. What to do? One answer is to play Chess960. Also known as Fischer Random Chess after ...
Novelty pays off -- Stuart Conquest emerged as the sole leader of the 95th British chess championship with one game to play at St Georges Hall in Liverpool.
