Subject: Chess Informants 41-75 in PGN format
|
Hi folks
I was looking at the Chess Informant website, in particular
http://www.sahovski.co.yu/products/cipgn/latest.php?id=130
The offer looks quite good but I'm wondering whether the PGN
format contains everything one would find on the printed
volumes i.e. annotations, assessments, etc. Can the PGN
content on the cd be read by software which doesn't come
from Chess Informant itself? I don't have a specific
programme in mind, I just want to make sure that the PGN
content conforms to the standard and does not contain
peculiarities which can only be understood by software
coming from the Chess Informant people.

It seems like a very expensive collection, roughly US $80 for a single
CD.

Ah, I seem to have sent my followup in email instead. Sorry.
Anyway, it's very cheap--35 Informants, something like 20,000
annotated games, for $80.
I bought it a few years ago, and I don't recall any problems getting
SCID to read the PGN files.
