PGN chess lessons?
Sort:
So I've been looking at some PGN chess games recently and I began wondering something. Since it's possible to put text into PGNs, why aren't there very many instructional PGN "lessons?" I've scoured Google and found next to nothing. It would be great to have PGN grandmaster games where the commentary is built into the PGN so that I can learn something new. Why isn't this a thing? If it is much more popular than I thought, then can I get some links to places where I can get ahold of PGNs with commentary written in them?
It is a thing. You just haven't scoured very effectively. Most of the Silman articles posted on this site, for example, offer just that, with variations to your hearts content.

Yeah, but I'm talking like downloadable content. I also would like to have chess instruction (like tactics training, for instance) as well. Maybe I'm asking for too much.

Well, if you wanted to review all the major moves in the Sicilian out to 20 moves, that could get sort of unwieldy. I don't think you'd want 384,000 game pgns (the number of Sicilians in the Chessbase online database.)
In order to have something workable, what you would have would be called a database. If you want commented games, you could get the Chess Informant, which looks provides comments on a lot of the games played by leading grandmasters.
Everyman Chess publishes their e-books in four formats: cbv, pgn, Kindle and E-pub.
They may have what you are looking for.
