You might be able to do something like that with Chessbase Lite using cbh files as a transfering format, hard to say, might work. But you can forget about running a file as large as 300mb through it, I think the limit might be 8000 games before it gets brain freeze. In the example you give above, I don't think Crafty liked seeing "ep" (a guess) because I don't really thing that's standard pgn notation. You can probably use a monster strength editor like Emacs from GNU to replace things like "ep" with nothing, and then Crafty might be more willing to parse those moves. Pete
