How to study Andrew Soltis

I just picked up a copy of "Catalog of Chess Mistakes," and I want to find a database with games and examples he presents gathered in one spot -- a dedicated folder.

 

Chessgames.com, as an example, has a collection of Nimzowich games that he analizes in "My System."

 

Anyone done the same for Soltis?

 

One problem is that many of the games he cites, in my edition anyway (1979), lack enough information to find them quickly in chessgames -- number of moves, for example.

 

If he has a game Spassky Fischer that was drawn in a title match, and doesn't give you the number of moves or which game in the series, plus he plops you down in the middle of the game with a diagram and no idea of the opening, it is hard to find. For me anyway.

I realize a lot of you just know by heart

Gambitchess.com has it.  The file was created by Bill Wall who plays here.

That was speedy. Thanks!

The link Gambitchess.com did not lead to a files with suffixes either I or my computer recognized. I thought with a pgn file, perhaps I could click on it, it would open, then I would copy and paste a pgn file into an analysis board. No luck, my computer is puzzled by those suffixes.

Which program do you use to read PGN files?  SCID?  Arena?  Have you tried opening the file from inside that program?
