Hello,
I started a tournament but mistakenly forgot to save the games (Tournament -->New--> PGN Output) before starting the tournament.
Tournament ended and to my horror I just realized I forgot to tell it a location to save the PGN files.
Now does Cute Chess by default save the PGN files somewhere?
Thanks
Where does CuteChess 1.2.0 Save PGN Output File by default?

No, as far as I know. But someone else might have better news for you.Sicilian101 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 24, 2025 9:17 pm Hello,

I think it does, it is in the config cutechess.ini
Look for
[tournament]
e.g default_pgn_output_file=C:/Users/Yourname/OneDrive/Defaultpgn.pgn
and
[games]
default_pgn_output_file=C:/Program Files/Cute Chess/DefaultGamespgn.pgn
(depends where you have cutechess installed. Installing it under Program Files wasn't the best choice.)
Files is located
C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Roaming\cutechess
