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?

A tragic knight — The London Chess Classic, a fabulously organized eight-player elite tournament, shaped up as a confrontation between two great chess grandmasters, the top-rated Magnus Carlsen of Norway and the former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia.

U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura drew four games and lost one. The tournament concludes Tuesday.
