Lucas Chess offers you to save games in .pgn format which every chess software I know of can read. So that is the format of choice.
.pks is a strange format, I don't know the purpose of it and it is no ascii format like .pgn. It might be used by some chess program though or as Rob3rt has indicated some non chess specific database software.
I was playing around with analyzing a game in Lucas Chess, and I Saved the game. It saved it as a .pks file. When I returned to LC a bit later, I couldn't get LC to open the game. Does anyone here know what other programs might be able to open .pks files? Thanx!
