We can now export our lichess games as a big PGN file, compatible with SCID and most other chess databases.
To do so, click the "Export games" button of your profile page - it looks like a download icon.
This feature replaces the former CSV export, as PGN is more widely recognized by chess software.
great job
at last it is here thanks a lot
thibault can you create a pgn file of our played puzzles??
It will be also great for us to practice those puzzles again and again.
That is awesome thibault! Great job. Thanks.
Wonderful, thanks for this feature!!!
However, using scid, I get some error messages when reading the file, see attached error messages below. Seems scid doesn't like the 0-0 and 0-0-0 moves? Any idea?
Thanks

Just checked myself, and indeed the game attached below seems impossible, 5. Nd3 is not a regular move ...

Uups sorry! Ignore my messages, all errors are caused by the Chess960 games, of course!
Please apologize
You raise a good point though.
A lot of chess programs regrettably do not support Chess960 and might even fail on a 960 game, even when the variant is explicitly declared to be "Chess960".
Perhaps there should be two exporters.
