This question is to chess players in linux. I recently
downloaded the games from 36th Chess olympiad's site. They are all in
the .cbv format. Is there anyway I can use them? My computer stores
all saved games in the .pgn format.
CBV is the file format of chessbase (www.chessbase.com). You need
chessbase to read the database.
AFAIK, there are no opensource/free readers for CBV files. Moreover the
file format is undocumented so
writing a reader is difficult.
