This is true if you want to convert a CMG file (the Chessmaster saved game format) to PGN. You load it into the Game Room (for example) and can then save it in PGN. You can also save any single game in PGN immediately, rather than saving it first as a CMG. The database is different, however. If you do a query on the games that you are looking for, you can then select them all (CTRL+A) and export them to PGN by selecting "Export Selected Games" under the "File" menu. jm
