There must be an easy way to load this "PGN" file. >Jim Walker I'm using Eudora for Email and CB 6 for a database program. What I usually do in this case is too highlight all the chess game messages in my inbox (without opening any of them) and then doing a "save as " <filename>.pgn The resultant PGN file can be read easily by ChessBase, apparently all the Email header material just gets ignored. I believe I have done the same with Netscape mail with no problem. If Chessbase can handle it, I'm sure at least some other PGN readers can too. BTW, for my own ICC games I find it a lot easier to use the log games function of Blitzin, but I guess you meant that you were getting games from one of the libraries. Marc
