Thanks!

By the way, what's the translation of your sig? Just curious.

Intellectual curiousity is a true virtue!
The signature is in Romanian, and it is from the poem "Emperor and Proletarian" by Mihai Eminescu.
Here is Corneliu M. Popescu's translation, taken from a very nice bilingual Eminescu page http://www.alcor.com.au/gabrield/eminescu/index.asp:
" Hurl to the earth their scheme founded on greed and wrong.
This system that divides, making us rich and poor !
Since there will be no prize in death awaited long,
Demand the rights today that do to you belong,
And let us live in equal brotherhood secure !"

What are PGN games?

 

[Panzar75]

PGN is short for Portable Game Notation. It's really a text file formatted to an agreed upon standard and saved as .pgn

This is good because chess games saved as .pgn can be opened by any chess software while most other formats can only be opened with the program that made them.

As for displaying .pgn on a website I use "pgntojs" http://www.mailchess.de/pgntojse.html

Thanks Panzar! I'm downloading it now.

As far as I know, Chessbase is one of the most popular programs to do it. Chess Assistant might do the same, I am not sure.

Unfortunately both are not freeware.
