unfortunately, chessbase 11 isn't made for mac :( 

for now, i am manually typing in all of my OTB tournament games into .rtf or .txt files...it kind of stinks.

short of creating a separate partition on my HD and installing a windows OS in order to install chessbase, is there any way to create .pgn files on a mac?

thanks in advance!

Scid is popular and good.  They have a Mac version.

Found this too, but know nothing about it which is how much I know about Macs. Smile

 I think right here in chess.com you can do that, set up the whole game in a board, and then save it as pgn. At least, on the online chess boards tou can do that: tab "moves" (to the right of chat) and then "get pgn". Hope it works.
