After you load the games, what do you want to do with them? Just browse them, for example?
If you have your own website, you can set up a page to load all of your games. At my website, for example, I have a pgn file of all 397 of my over-the-board tournament games:

Loading PGN file with multiple games
Sort:
The only time I ever use the above website, however, is when I might be on the road, away from my laptop or home computer. It's much easier to just fire up my favorite GUI (Scid Vs. PC) and load all of my games with that. The GUI gives me many more options and choices than any website ever could. (Searching through the database, analyzing a position with an engine, etc.)
This is why I asked what do you want to do with the games. Your favorite GUI and your favorite engine will certainly be much more versatile than any website.
Basically it's a database for testing tactics I want to be able to access it while I'm at work, but I was hoping to find a way where I won't see the moves on the bottom of the board.
I do actually have a subscription for Chess Tempo. What screen and options do you go to for that? Or is that available for only games that you've played thru Chess Tempo or can you load pgns and then upload it to a website?
As mentioned above, it's a pgn file of my over-the-board tournament games, so no, it's not just for games played thru Chess Tempo. The pgn file can be anything... your games, Fischer's games, tactic puzzles, etc.
Chess Tempo's PGN viewer is Javascript code which allows you to either view PGN format games on the Chess Tempo site, or embed the viewer into your own website. The viewer should currently be considered Beta quality. There may be some legal PGN forms that it chokes on (please send me any PGN files it has trouble displaying) and it may misbehave on pages with unusual (or as yet untested) layouts.

I actually tried to use that this morning. I selected "Choose File" and when it opened, it only opened the first pgn game and not the others.
I'm looking at the other links on how to use it and I am not familar with Javascript, is this hard to get going if you don't know Javascript?
No, you don't need to know Javascript at all. (I don't know it and never use it.) I recall it was very easy to set up. The already provide the Javascript files. All you have to do is copy them to your folder and change the name of the pgn file in your htlml file to the one you want to load.

Chess Tempo's PGN viewer lets me to embed its viewer into my own website.
It's possible to embed it twice in the same html page?
(I have a page with some comments, a view of some pgn, more comments, and another view of a different pgn, both in their respective .pgn files).
I tried, but I didn't.
Could be the viewer allows only a single boardName, "demo", and therefore only a single .pgn file?
I don't think so, but I can't find another reason.
I will appreciate some help.
Hello MrEdCollins
I ran chesstempo pgn viewer with the code you provided. Thank you so much. However, I want to run "ingram-braun online pgn viewer" (https://ingram-braun.net/erga/online-pgn-viewer/) on my computer with xampp. Please help me with this. ekeryas@hotmail.com
I'm trying to find a website that can load a pgn created from Chessbase that has multiple games. I know how to load just one pgn game. Is there a website anywhere that can do this? Thanks in advance!
(not sure where to post this so I selected Off Topic)
