![]() But downloading games one at a time is a royal pain.) (When I do it one at a time, the format is fine. To me writing this utility and using it once a week, was much, much better than continuously downloading the pgn files one game at a time. Not all chess software (programs, database utilities, etc.) recognize that type of format, so I had to write a little utility for myself, to "reconstruct" and clean up that "pgn file." (I use the term "pgn file" loosely because no carriage returns is NOT pgn standard.) The first time I downloaded games here on, I selected a bunch of games to download at once, via the "My Game Archive" site, and the file that was e-mailed to me was a jumbled mess! It didn't have any hard carriage returns in it at all! Stupid. You can use ChessX or SCID or a bunch of other databases or pgn utilities to filter out the games that you DON'T want in the sub file. If you then want to create additional, sub files, with specific openings, you can do so as described above. This file will contain all your games and nothing but your games. Once a week or so you can continually update this file and add to it the games you played the prior week. Well, I first suggest having one, master PGN file with ALL your games in that you play here on.
