Don't know what to do with pgn s. Assumed that downloading these game files would allow me to save them to my hard drive, print them off etc. That's obviously the idea. (?) But when i go to open the files on my computer , it says it needs to know the program that created them. What to do? Thank you.

Download a free PGN viewer like chesspad. Then you can replay the games.

Thank you likeforests.

Also if you open the pgn files in the Windows Notepad program you will be able to read it.

Thanks matt. I've been able to see the move lists.  Is there a way of converting them to 2d boards, like you've made on the online games? That'd be great!

Yeah, you must download some free pgn viewer program just as likesforests said. The 'chesspad' program above looks like it will do the job.
