love the new pgn, how about batch pgn files?

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 ulk 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...

In my last posting at http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthread.php?id=4871 I poposed something similar.

You already can download the last 10 games at once.

th

You can also download the first ten games, if you set the 'max number of days since game ended' value to something like 1000.

By trial and error, and/or the use of a spreadsheet formula, you should be able to get all your games, ten at a time, in order of when they were finished.

It would be great if we could enter the game ids of (up to 10) games on the 'Email my games' form, if the often requested 'email these games' checkbox column is out of the question for some reason.

Thire, thanks for the tip! Only problem is pgn viewers (mine, at least) don't seem to be able to "see" the header data (i.e. name, etc.) It picks up the moves, but when you are dealing with a large number of games it gets hard to remember which player you are! Any suggestions?
