File Format Notes

CBV type files are Chessbase archive databases. They can be opened with Fritz, Chessbase, Chessbase Light, Chessbase Reader, and Chess Assistant. If you don't already have one of these chess programs, you can go to www.chessbase.com and download the free Chessbase Light.

PGN (Portable Game Notation) type files can be opened with almost any chess program, and also any text editor such as MS-Word or Notepad.

2006 Washington Class Championship
WAClass06.cbv (complete) | WAClass06_update.cbv (update) – The ".cbv" files are Chessbase/Fritz format, and contain annotations to most of the games.
WAClass06.pgn (complete) | WAClass06_update.pgn (update)
There is no commentary in the PGN files because some chess programs have compatibility issues with annotated games. The "Update" version of both files contains only the 10 additional games and corrected games, since these files were originally published. If you already have a database of the tournament games, you can copy & paste the updated games into the existing database. The Update contains: 1) Additional games that were published in Northwest Chess magazine. 2) Updated commentary of some games that were published in Northwest Chess. 3) Correction of moves to Inglis-Woodlief game. The complete version also contains corrected player names (Ignacio Perez and Dennis McGuire).
