PGN software?

I'm trying to analyze some of my old games with Fritz, but I can't get my computer to open the pgn files I've downloaded.  Is there software I need to read downloaded PGNs?

With which program you tried open?
farbror
You can always "cut and paste" the PGN files into Fritz (at least one game at the time)

Try open with Microsoft Office Power Point 2003 if you have that program in your pc
farbror
...or notepad

Heres what you do in Fritz 12.

Download your games as PGN files from chess.com and save that file on your hard drive.

In Fritz click on the database button

When your database window opens click the circular button top left above the ribbon and the drop down will give you an "open" option.

The dialogue box that follows allows you to navigate to the location where you stored your PGN file, make sure you click the drop down list box at the bottom of the dialogue box that says "files of type" (one of the options is PGN)

Click to open your PGN

And now all of your chess.com games will be available in your database window for analysis etc in Fritx12

PS. I always save my chess.com PGN in the chessbase/database/work folder alongside my games against Fritz and other games I have entered manually from books and suchlike.

PPS. I know this is an old thread but someone might be looking it up in the future, it took me a while to figure this out so I thought I'd record it for others...

Can anyone tell me which program it is used to teach games (where you can put differents arrows according to any possible move, mark squares and so on) like the explanatios we can see on youtube? Thank you beforehand.

Chessmaster allows you to paste PGN's.
