Recommend a PGN 32-bit

hi! what would be the best free pgn software for windows 32 bit?

thanks & kind regards.

You don't need anything special. PGN files are incredibly simple. All they are is a text file with a number of fields/parameters telling you where and when a game took place and who played, along with the score of the game.

Wikipedia has a good article on PGN files. Here is a sample:

[Event "F/S Return Match"]
[Site "Belgrade, Serbia Yugoslavia|JUG"]
[Date "1992.11.04"]
[Round "29"]
[White "Fischer, Robert J."]
[Black "Spassky, Boris V."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
 
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 {This opening is called the Ruy Lopez.}
4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Nb8  10. d4 Nbd7
11. c4 c6 12. cxb5 axb5 13. Nc3 Bb7 14. Bg5 b4 15. Nb1 h6 16. Bh4 c5 17. dxe5
Nxe4 18. Bxe7 Qxe7 19. exd6 Qf6 20. Nbd2 Nxd6 21. Nc4 Nxc4 22. Bxc4 Nb6
23. Ne5 Rae8 24. Bxf7+ Rxf7 25. Nxf7 Rxe1+ 26. Qxe1 Kxf7 27. Qe3 Qg5 28. Qxg5
hxg5 29. b3 Ke6 30. a3 Kd6 31. axb4 cxb4 32. Ra5 Nd5 33. f3 Bc8 34. Kf2 Bf5
35. Ra7 g6 36. Ra6+ Kc5 37. Ke1 Nf4 38. g3 Nxh3 39. Kd2 Kb5 40. Rd6 Kc5 41. Ra6
Nf2 42. g4 Bd3 43. Re6 1/2-1/2

You can paste it into a forum comment using the Game Editor that Chess.com provides-- for free, I might add.

Hey notmtwain, how did you achieve that formatting? The one in which you've shown the pgn as text.

Hello

[/code]

thanks notmtwain. i googled for pgn software & i looked into chessX, but twas for 64 bit. googled for the 32 bit but then thought it would be better to ask for recommendations from experienced members instead of groping around the net.

i'll look into Chess.com's Game Editor. what do you use if you want to view pgn offline? thanks for explaining, the example, & providing the Game Editor lead.

i appreciate your help. thanks again & have a great week!

There are loads, try SCID, it's the best.

thanks ProCrazy. best regards

That's just copied and pasted html from the wikipedia entry on pgn.

yes i will. thanks!
