102nd Amateur Series Division 1

[Graham Banks]

There is an option already there to download the uncommented PGN file.

For tournament PGN files, Dann's solution sounds good.

Yes, but where are the division one games, all of them, as the tournament progresses?
Why not have a pgns link on the Jay Honnold page? Else finding even the penultimate game played us problematical

Could you post this suggestion to Jay, using the link at the bottom of the broadcast?
