File Formats

Arena can load and save the following file types :

  • EPD
  • PGN
  • FCH

In the PGN-format single games can be replaced or appended. Because of the large size of these PGN-files, not the whole file is saved completely, only the changed parts.

The format 'FCH' is specific to Arena and it shouldn't be used in the future because no variations can be saved in this format.
