PART 2 • Printing and exporting games and positions
If you select PGN format (Portable Game Notation, described
previously), the game will be saved as a file with the .pgn
extension in the folder of your choice. The Windows file select
dialogue lets you choose the location (drive and folder):
• Selecting Set of EPD again displays the Windows file select dialogue,
and the file extension is .epd (for Extended Position Description, also
previously described). But this selection is special, because it creates
a file which contains every position of the game given in Extended
Position Description. So, for example, if a game ends after Black's 30th
move, the resulting EPD file (after selecting “Set of EPD”) will contain
60 lines, each of which is an EPD description of the board position after
a move of the game, given sequentially in the order the moves were
played.
• If you select PDF, Chess King will create a file in Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
format, which can also be read by the free Adobe Acrobat Reader
software (as well as a variety of third-party programs). Here again, the
Windows file select dialogue will be displayed to allow you to choose
the drive and folder into which you'd like to save the file.
• Selecting RTF saves the file in Rich Text Format (with the .rtf extension)
which can be read and edited by most document programs.
