I can't find it anywhere in the documentation for Fritz.
Not that the documentation is very complete. Nor that the
UI is the most logical in the world...

So how do you get Fritz to export to PGN or any other
format? There is mention of using the database screen
for this kind of thing, but it seems to only want to
import files, not export.

First, export to where?

A work around, based on the above, could be to take database "x.cbh",
make a new database "x1.pgn", copy games from "x.cbh" to "x1.pgn".
Exit Fritz, open Fritz folder, find "x1.pgn" and in there will be the
.pgn games. If desired, this info can be c/p'd to a .pgn file
elsewhere.

Is this any help? If not, where would you like more info?

How do I put it in reverse?

I believe Fritz drags its heels a bit when exporting to PGN because PGN
competes with CB6.

Just a theory :)

Are you using Fritz5? Then...
Create a new database under the database window in Fritz. Choose the PGN
format. Now copy the games from the database you choose (e.g. with ctrl-a
you select all games) to the new pgn-database. It's now all in PGN-format.

Hi Paul,

make a new database, for example database.pgn (.pgn is important) and copy
your selected games in this database.

Thanks for the answers. This should work. Though I do find it
a bit annoying that I have to go through a bunch of steps
like this just to export a game to an independent format.
