How about .ctg to .abk ?
That's of more interest to faithful Arena users like me !

Can you please explain how to go about the first step - changing the abk file into a pgn file? confused

Downloaded this tool, tested it with T-X.abk. It generated the file T-X.pgn but when I tried loading it in Chessbase (I use Deep Rybka 4 GUI), the moves are there but the games are not. It showed the moves but everything shows a value of zero. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
