If you would simply open any pgn file instead that contains chess games then you will not be able to delete or edit any games because your pgn files are classified read-only and cannot be changed. You need this new database to import (copy) your pgn games into it later on. (example: ModernDatabase) See image below. Click on FILE/NEW and give your database a name that you like.
You have to start from scratch and create a new database. It will create an icon on your PC as shown below. See below.įind, open and install SCID on your computer. SCID vs PC creates an icon on your desktop. If you have a Windows 64 bit PC, then download the 64 bit version. Make sure you download the right version. To open the pgn file Modern Database to see the chess games in it, you need a chess database like “SCID vs PC” (free, see this page below), or, for example, ChessBase Mega Package or as alternative the Russian database Chess Assistant PRO with Houdini PRO (DVD) or the interface of a commercially available chess program like Fritz Chess Software that has a chess database included to which you can add my Modern Database. This means you just extend this pgn database over time and add more games to it. You can use my pgn chess database with “SCID vs PC” and build your personal chess database with it.
If download link does not work then please send me an email and I send you the download link. I have to charge you $35 for the pgn downloads, because it has been a lot of work to build the pgn file (expertchess.zip) with over 540 000 chess games, as you can surely imagine. However in the beginning SCID seems to be complicated to use it, so I will explain some important features that you must know to be able to build your database. You can also run chess engines and play games against the computer. With “SCID vs PC” you can create huge chess databases without having to buy expensive chess database software. Shane’s Chess Information Database (SCID) was originally written by Shane Hudson, but has received strong contribution from others.
