All plyers have a history list of their last 20 games.
To see this list use the command:
his <member>
You can click in the list or use the command: examin <member> <gamenumber>

A member could also save games in his library for a permanent storage. To see a
members library use the command:
lib <member>
You can click in this list too or use the command: examin <member> %<gamenumber>

Important tournament are also keept in libraries, to see witch tournament and
how to play throug a game use the command:
help cool-libs
This will by default bring up a web-page with instructions. I you want to see
the same list inside blitzin (or other gui) use the command:
set webhelp 0
first.

As a last entry into ICC's database you can do a search for a player/games in an
opening etc. with:
search <membername>
see help search for more information.
This latest search function is only for members.

To get a pgn from a game you can either list it as pgn and copy it into your
chessprogram with the command 'pgn'. See 'help pgn' for possible parameters.
Easiest is to wiew the game with one of the above command and just use the
command 'pgn'

Members can in addition use the command 'mailstored' to get games by e-mail. For
instruction see 'help mailstored'
