Can someone explain to me how to import the games I have played on chess.com into chessbase light?

If I do a single game, it treats it like its own database and I can't seem to add them all.

Also, I was semi successful in setting up a database in Fritz 11 but it only shows black.  I'm very confused.  Any help is appreciated.

 

thanks

It's easier to combine your individual games into one PGN file and then copy that file into your Chessbase Reference DB.  If you don't have the tools to do this you can download MergePGNFiles from this page: http://www.chess.com/downloads/pgn+utilities

Note: It's a very barebones application but it gets the job done.  There are other more advanced open source PGN editors available (i.e. pgn-extract etc)

Once you've got all your chess.com games combined into a single file, browse to the location where the file is stored from within Chessbase, right click on the PGN and go to Edit -> Copy.  Go to your Reference DB, right click and select Edit-> Paste and that's it!

Thank you Gonnosuke.  Worked like a charm.
