Still no sign of any PGN's.
Look.
I'm working during the day and paying taxes that builds ugly parliment buildings, unwanted trams
and now yet another bridge over the Forth. (The Andy Murray Bridge).
I'm blocked from watching these silly live games things.
I like to download the PGN, print it out in font 18 because my eyes have decided to get old.
(I can print them out at work) then play over them on a board to get the feel of the game.
All I have is a post on here from Alastair White telling us that someone missed a great combo
leaving his opponent dead in the water.
This one simple pleasure is being denied me by a group of selfish techno-geeks patting themselves
on the back because they are broadcasting lives games. (sometimes...Usually it does not work.)
Not only me by the way. I work beside Findlay Murray (1900 and rising) he too is moaning
about the lack of PGN's. We have a chess set all ready to go and play over these games and all
he is seeing is me showing him opening traps. (I've worked my through 1.e4 1.d4 I'm now 1,c4)
So who is watching theses wonderful live games?
What percentage of the popualtion? (they will answer this one, they like to post how many hits they get.)Scotland is experiencing it's hottest spell of the year, what sad pale-faced untanned idiot is
sitting in his house watching games of chess?
It's obvious the score of theses games is stored somewhere, it would be a two second job to
cut and paste them onto that blank page the main site links to. The one titled Games and PGN File.
And here is the link:

You don't have to put them in a PGN file, the bare score would do.
Me and my bus pass are hacking our way to see on Sunday.
There had better be some PGN's up by then or at least an answer on this forum as to why not.
"Me and my bus pass are hacking our way to see on Sunday. ".....Brings me nicely onto point two.
Have you see the bus jouneys I have to make to get from Edinburgh to Helensburgh and back again?
What feckless idiot chose Helensburgh as a location?
It must be one of the most impossible venues to get to in the history of Chess.
It's a wee fishing village that is deemed so unimportant they took away it's ferry.
And who the hell was Helen?
Is that the Helen from Helen of Troy? I thought she was a Greek.
(....it would be easier to get to Greece from Edinburgh than it is going from Edinburgh to Helensburgh.)
