ChessBase 13
Once the PGN file is in the database window you can list out the games, load any of
them and replay them in the board window. You can even add games to the database,
by entering them or copying games from another database. Naturally they will be
saved in PGN format, appended to the end of the file. You can copy individual games
from the PGN file, or in fact the whole PGN database, into a standard ChessBase
database. During the process they will be automatically converted.
In order to load a PGN file you need to set the "Files of type" field in the Database file
selector to "PGN".
PGN Downloads from the Internet
Databases from the Windows TEMP folder are no longer added as symbols to "My
Databases". Such databases can come about from doing something like opening an
email.
If only one game is loaded a board window automatically opens.

3.4.35 Password
When you compress a database to an archive file you have the option of encrypting it
with a password. You have to enter your password twice to avoid typos. The filename
has the ending CBZ.
Important note
After you create an encrypted archive, the original database files are physically
deleted! ChessBase asks you to confirm this, because the files can never be
recovered. The program overwrites them with random characters before deleting them,
to ensures that they cannot be reconstructed with disk utilities. So make sure you
type in and remember the password correctly. Otherwise your database will be
irrevocably lost.
ChessBase encrypts files using a powerful DES algorithm. There is also no secret
master password or back door, and we cannot help you to retrieve files if anything
goes wrong. So if you forget the password, your work is gone forever.
3.4.36 Network capability
ChessBase has a certain degree of networking capability. A database in a network can
be read and probed by a number of users simultaneously. But writing to the database
is only possible when nobody else is accessing it.
The same applies to Fritz. For instance, if an engine match or tournament is running on
a computer, another computer can access the files over the network and load games
