If only one game is loaded a board window automatically opens. Such databases can come about from doing something like opening an email. In order to load a PGN file you need to set the 'Files of type' field in the Database file selector to 'PGN'.Дatabases from the Windows TEMP folder are no longer added as symbols to 'My Databases'. During the process they will be automatically converted. You can copy individual games from the PGN file, or in fact the whole PGN database, into a standard ChessBase database. I have a course from GothamChess that comes along with a PGN file that basically covers many of the variations, complete with annotations.

I want to have different files for each opening variation (or have different variations within the same opening as chapters in a file). Naturally they will be saved in PGN format, appended to the end of the file. Because at the moment I dont see any option to save games. You can even add games to the database, by entering them or copying games from another database. Once the PGN file is in the database window you can list out the games, load any of them and replay them in the board window. You may have to rename a textfile first if it doesn't have the correct extension. In order for ChessBase to read a PGN file it must have the extension вЂњ.PGNвЂќ. You simply address the PGN database directly, like any other database file. As a user you do not need to worry about conversions.

On the other hand, the use of storage space is much less efficient than in the ChessBase format вЂ“ you need about seven times as much space to store the same games in PGN.Д¬hessBase can read and write PGN games files. It is especially popular on the Internet because the games are stored as plain textfiles and can be edited вЂ“ or theoretically even typed in completely вЂ“ with a simple text editor.
