 Using Chessbase there is another way: create a void PGN database, close both,
and drag the icon of the cbh database into the pgn one. Then all games in the
cbh database will be copied. This is simpler and faster.

 By the way, it has been said that it is easy to use Chess Assistant to convert
cbh into pgn. Does it mean that CA reads cbh format? As cbh is proprietary
format, I assumed that CA didn´t read it.

 Another question: is there a sensible and simple way to clean a PGN database?
It is said that PGN-Extract does it, but apparently I´m too stupid to understand
how. What I want is to strip all comments, erase all the games without a result,
and erase all the games without any moves.
