However, I do presume that he does not make a claim to the ownership of those now defunct missing from his website. PS: some good I have to admit that I did not check whether all of Lars databases were online. Ĭonsidering all this, I would say that converting the Mega2009 into PGN (or, even better, the SCID4.0 format) and making it available to the rest of the chess players out there - in particular those who could not affod to pay such money to begin with! - is a terrific idea, no?
#CONVERTING MEGA DATABASE 2019 TO PGN DOWNLOAD#
He offers the service of a DVD with all the databases, but also makes all the databases available online.Īs for Mega2009 is already available for download on the web anyway. This guy for example has, I think, a much smarter business model: Now, I understand that there are corporations out there who would want to sqeeze every last penny out of each one of us to maximze their profits, but we don't really need to buy into their arguments.īesides, corporations need to come to terms with the reality that we are living in an Internet-connected world and start to revise their business models. I believe that If somebody therefore takes the Mega2009 database and exports it into the PGN format, he/she could safely make it pubicly available for download (if only because it would be impossible to prove that this collection of games was exported from Mega2009 or any other database ) The status of the collection of games is also probably of one in the public domain since it is largely composed of publicly available games. The database itself (the dataformat and its order) are undoubtedly covered by copyrights, but the information contained within the database itself is not - it is in the public domain. You need to buy Mega2009 database from ChessBase first -) Is this PGNed database available for download somewhere? The merge PGN utility provided on this site under Downloads also does not work.Ĭan anyone either help me produce a single PGN file or at least correctly merge the two halves that I have? pgn produces a file which cannot be read by ChessBase or properly by SCID. Using the command prompt and doing *.pgn >.
#CONVERTING MEGA DATABASE 2019 TO PGN HOW TO#
I've tried every PGN utility I can find online, but they either don't work or they are DOS-based and I can't figure out how to use them. I managed to make two PGNs containing 50% of the Mega Database 2009 each. Notepad and Wordpad can't handle the quantity of text, so I can't use them to copy/paste.
I've tried Chess Assistant Lite it also can't handle making the PGN. Export to text file doesn't work either, as it does not create proper PGN text. I've tried 2 methods with CB10 - export to PGN and create new PGN +copy/paste - and both crash after about 60% of the export or import process.
Has anyone who has CB Mega Database 2009 managed to convert the entire thing into a single PGN file?
