Yes, I know.  I do it all the time.  It can also calculate the Elo of players
and store the value back to the PGN.

The original poster wants to take his full database and split it into tens of
thousands of files -- each file containing all the games for each individual
player.

Let me reiterate:
The OP does not want to create one file or 5 files or a dozen files.  He wants
to create thousands and thousands without having to do any manual steps.  He
wants a new file for each player, with all of the games that player has ever
played that are stored in the database to be written out to a new file
identified by the player's name for each and every player.

So, if there are 85,000 players in the database, then there will be 85,000 files
created.  Is it clear?

You can do this with ChessBase, but it would be rather tedious, wouldn't you
agree?
