  WannaBe: Now, to do it from CG.com's game...

On the game page, select 'view' link, (it's right under the board) you will now see the PGN of the game.

You can follow the above directions, OR right click anywhere within your web-browser, then click on 'select all' (now, the whole page should be blue high-lighted) then go to your menu bar, and Edit->Copy.

Launch your Deep Fritz, (Or, it can be launched already) then select Edit->Paste->Game

You now can use your arrow keys and move to the desired move and do your (infinite) analysis or any other analysis(es) or analysisi(i)?? =)

  STYNTZ: thank u sir. i will try that method. it seems that fritz handles pgn as a text file,then. i have used CHESSMASTER, and it brings in PGN directly. i was told fritz was better,but i havent played one agaist the other yet. thanks again for the help

  WannaBe: <STYNTZ> Yes, PGNs are nothing more than text, you can open/edit/save them by using Windows's own Notepad.

It's under start->programs->accessories

But, one thing, you have to change the File Type from *.txt to *.* when opening/saving file.

Otherwise you'd not be able to find/open the file, and when you save them, you'll end up with something like Game.pgn.txt if you don't change the File Type.

Good luck!

Apr-09-07  themadhair: <slight addendum to <WannaBe>'s tip> Sometimes saving the file as a .pgn will leave you with a file with extension .pgn.txt even if you use <WannaBe>'s tip. The best way to sort this is to open up a folder. On the bar at the top you have the options File / Edit / View / Favourites / Tools / Help. Click 'Tools' and select 'Folder Options'. Choose the 'View' tab. There is an option (you may have to scroll down) called 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Untick and say goodbye forever to windows adding .txt to everything you save.

  WannaBe: Apparently the latest 'fad' in sports is drunk driving.

First was Tony LaRussa, then James Posey, now Warren Moon.

Just shows you, now matter how much $$$ you make, you still aren't smart enough to call a taxi.

Apr-11-07  whiskeyrebel: they should train with me; anymore I won't even straddle a slot machine while drunk ( well, not TOO drunk ). Am I getting soft, or developing wisdom?

  tpstar: <brankat> Over the last week, he made several forlorn posts about people not visiting his forum, similar to last summer when he purged everything again for the third time. He was also reviewing previous pages and deleting outside posts to leave more room for his "silly sallies." For the last few days, he was posting old material over and over again, hoping for some (any) response. His final post (now deleted) included a sly comment about needing to do more serious reading, and it was unclear if he will return.

  WannaBe: <JoeWms> Here is one for your liking: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/ne...

Maybe U.S. can enforce something similiar!

Apr-12-07  technical draw: Just in case <JoeWms> is listening here's my idea for a new ballet. It's based on the music of Chopin and deals with a scientists research into venereal desease. The title?: Less Syphilis.

So they find the two most difficult questions in the world simple in China? Interesting...

<Hello>: Hi or Nee How (Ma)?

<Thank You>: Shay-shay

<Bye>: Bye-bye or Tsai Jian

<Why does your government block out certain web-sites?>: Take me to your nearest prison.

<When will you release the freedom dissidents?>: Where is the closest labor camp, I'd like to do some work for your government.

<Why I can't and visit that place?>: Please take me to your police station and beat me silly.

<No, really, how many people died at Tiannamen Square?>: I enjoy water torture, may I have the pleasure of experiencing it? Oh, say for the next 2 weeks while the Olympics are happening?

Apr-12-07  chessmoron: <No, really, how many people died at Sino-Japanese War?> All but was born again.

<Why do Chinese hate Harrison Ford and Richard Gere?> They are Satan.

  WannaBe: Random personal thoughts:

From reading the April issue of Chess Life...

GM Soltis have a great sense of humor, especially his own proposed rules to level the playing field of computer vs. human matches. Had me in stitches.

I had a few good laughs reading the USCF Executive Board Candidate Statements. Brought tears to my eyes... I was laughing so hard.

Apr-13-07  THE pawn: <WannaBe> What happened there? You came out of the opening with the upper hand and my sac was unsound!

However, I missed a really nice queen sacrifice after 29. Kc4 Qxb2 30. Qa4 Qb3+! 31.Qxb3 Rc8+ 32.Kd5 Rc5#

Apr-13-07  THE pawn: So I had TWO chances to sac my queen, one that would lead me to victory with 2 pieces vs 5, without the queen! I was this close to a Tal masterpiece.
