Play online chess |  Subject: pgn converter
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?

Chess: A sacrificial rook — Sacrificing a chess piece is a nerve-racking business, but think of the warm glow when it pays off. RB If chess pieces could talk, they would be screaming at me something like: "Can't you take a hint, dummy? We're all pointing in one direction – at c3!" And I would say back to them: "Yes, thank you, I see that, but I have to tell you that I am always nervous of sacrificing a chess piece when I can't calculate a forced mate or win of material." But let's try to get the nerves under control and venture the less valuable piece first: 1...Bxc3. What's to stop White playing 2 bxc3, and if 2...Qxc3 3 Bb3, with threats against f7? That doesn't seem to help Black much, so what about the rook: ...
