This site is wonderful. I only have one complaint. PGN! This is a BIG problem, as PGN that is not in standard notation is not true PGN. Please fix this as sson as possible. I am a subscriber and one of the main reasons I joined was to be able to keep a collection of my games for analysis, and I saw that pgn was available. Please fix!

Thanks,

I know that there is a very cool tool by Roland Young, but it's just easier to have directly the "good" pgn...

New and improved pgn is great...thank you, thank you, thank you...

Now for another suggestion (I'm such an ingrate). What about the possibility of have pgn games availabe in "bulk" for those of us who would like to analyze a batch of games at once, instead of having to cut and paste each and every time. Perhaps in batches of ten games or something like that? I know, it's asking a lot...
