Can't wait

Remember you don't have to win a tournament to post games. Acutally thinking about it noone seems to post there losses.. Myself included, that surely couldn't hurt. Anyway... let's get them up!

The thing is that I dont know how to make my games PGN files and upload them because when i save my games in CB it seems that they are different files and they wont upload
Can I have some help?
Thanks

When you save the files change the extension to (.pgn). So as an example, Mike.cbh manually change to Mike.pgn. That should work,but if it doesn't you can always try the function (Save as) it is often easier. I also think it is easier to save the files you want to upload on the desktop. Less mucking around later.

cheers,

OK

I presume that you enter your games in chessbase and then save them to a database in CBH format. This is a good way to save games as it lets you use all your chessbase facilities.

Now set up a PGN database in chessbase.

Now copy your games from the chessbase database to the PGN database.

I tend to use an indirect approach.

First I erase the clip database. Then I copy each game to the clip database using the edit feature of CB.
Last I drag and drop the games from the clip database to the PGN database.

round 6.pgn

**MikesGuns** · 04-09-2010, 11:43 AM

When i saved my games as pgn files on the desktop, when i tryed to open them using Adobe Reader 9 it didnt open

**Z&MLoh** · 04-09-2010, 01:36 PM

PGN files are essentially text files. Try notepad instead.

There's the analysis. Its a won ending that you know how to win anyway so I stopped at move 50 something.

Bg5 in the ending was nearly a costly move

**Lekko** · 05-04-2010, 07:29 PM

Michael did you check if you had anything more than a draw in last night's game? If so, can you post?

Total draw if White had played RxP instead of KxP on move 50.

I disagree, Rook swap and white can't hold the h pawn?

**MikesGuns** · 05-05-2010, 10:43 PM

Yeh frank i fought that i should have played Rf6 instead of Rg3 +5 according to the comp
