I have been looking (without much success) for a program that is capable of converting game history files such as those from games.yahoo.com to pgn files. This is an example what I want to convert to a pgn.

It will serve your interests better in the long run if you convert from playing at yahoo to playing at sites created by folks who know something about chess.
