CM 8000 installs a pgn file called Classic8k.pgn in its default folder.
Attempting to load this pgn file into any other programs doesn't work and
produces error messages. Does anyone know how to clean up these games other than
by hand. I think there are around 800 annotated GM games in this pgn file. Here
is a sample of how these games are formatted.
[Event ""]
[Site "Berlin"]
[Date "1853"]
[Round ""]
[White "Anderssen, A."]
[Black "Dufresne"]
[Result "1-0"]
;White sacrifices a piece to open the central files against the uncastled
;Black King, and despite his seemingly adequate development and counterattacking
;chances, Black comes out a tempo short in one of the finest combinations on
;record, justly known as the "Evergreen Game."
