I open the pgn, Chessbase 9 starts. Well, every modern OS allows to have multiple programs asociated to a file extension. I wonder a bit why you shrink yourself to CB9 alone, when you can associate several good PGN viewer simultaneously with it, by just one click? CB progs ruin PGN files anyway, e.g. they always kill the 'time contol' tag, they try to reformat the PGN file, they insert unnecessary dots for Black side to move in commented PGNs and so on... I have 7 or 8 programs, which all have different advantages for opening PGN files, asociated for example. Guenther
