cool you

I go there all the time - love it!  :)

Looks good, but how do I open the files? It downloads a zip file, then Winzip gives this error:

Cannot open file, it does not appear to be a valid archive.

If you downloaded the file, try downloading the file again.

Downloading again does not solve the problem, and it happened with both files I tried to download? Help please?

I just tested several of the zip files. It's working 100% fine for me. I'm using WinRAR.

I tried Vienna.zip and RuyLopezSchlieman.zip. Both failed.

I'll see if I can get winrar. Thanx for your reply

@Rooperi:

I just tried the two zip files you specified. They work fine for me.

That's so strange, never had a problem with winzip. I'm downloading winrar now, hold thumbs....

Great site.....thanks.   FYI, I just downloaded Morphy.pgn, and (on an XP system), just left clicked, and said "Extract all files."  Perfect!!

Well, I seem to have a problem, my winrar download is also broken.....

@Rooperi:

I just downloaded and installed WinRAR from this location:

http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar390.exe

It worked fine for me.

An alternative D/L location: http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html

It sounds more like you have some general OS issue?

Looks like it, but this is a new thing... I'm a little worried now...

Try using a registry cleaner and then defragging your hard disk. Could help.

Sorted, all is working now. Thanx for the link :)
