    Hello,

    I own an Android device and would like suggestions on:

    a) The best software to study PGN commented games. Would prefer a light pgn reader.

    b) Where to download PGN commented files.

    With both, I could study commented games anywhere.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Fer.

    There're a couple of programs in the market. I only want to comment on two of them I know best because I'm the author of both of them :-)

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scid.android (free)

    and

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kalab.pgnviewer (trial version, pro version available for a small fee)

    The first one is free, uses a different format for storing games, is targeted at big databases, and has a PGN import functionality. The second one I've created especially for viewing PGN files with easy navigation in mind. If you're missing a feature there I would be glad to receive suggestions.

    A good source for commented games is here: http://www.angelfire.com/games3/smartbridge/

    Commented games of the current chess world championship are available here: http://twiclive.com/silverlive.htm
