Vista - Chess Titans Game Printout

Is it possible to get a printout (or screen view) of the moves of a completed
game?

This would seem to be an invaluable learning tool.

Use the Snipping Tool? Or press Shift + Prt Sc to copy your screen to the
clipboard - you can then paste this into e.g. Paint and trim, then print...

Thx, but I am looking for a move by move listing of the game, not just the
board at the end.

Oh I see, you want the game history...

At first I was going to say you can't get this, but I had a look at the
saved game file in C:\Users\Account-name\Saved Games\Microsoft Games\Chess
Titans, called ChessTitans.ChessTitansSave-ms and at the very bottom if you
open from notepad
you can see the grid references of each move (as seen from white)..

BTW that info is stored there for the saved game to allow the undo
functionality to work. You need to select "all files" in notepad to see it
in the folder. There may be some easy way to convert this into other chess
notation...

In fact if you again at the bottom of the saved game file it actually uses
standard PGN format (not just the moves but in the area above the game
record)

I see it, thank you. The fact that you have to save the game and then go
through all of this is cumbersome. They should have this as a "tool".

I don't disagree ;-) But at least you should be able to copy and paste that
information into a chess move program if you want...

Have you contacted Oberon Games and asked them?
