You could load them up one by one and then save it >in EPD using Winboard or perhaps some of the EPD readers like epd2diagram or >something.. You can represent a game in EPD. Here is PGN: [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "?"] [Black "?"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "C50"] [Opening "Blackburne shilling gambit"] [Variation "Alatortsev variation"] 1. e4 e5 2.

Because it is the best way to describe a chess position. >How well supported are >they by commerical programs? Chessbase programs can read EPD but not write it. Rebel programs can read and write EPD Hiarcs can read and write EPD I believe that Shredder is gaining EPD capability. Many freeware programs can effectively read and write EPD. Really, any other way for the customer to communicate board positions is foolish. EPD is a subset of the PGN standard and therefore both open and publicly available. Its close similarity to FEN means that chess players can easily understand it. [snip]
