Jim, Excel seemed to be a natural only because of the column headings A thru H and I definitely needed something better than the Notepad Chessboard that I had set up. Since an email from Ed Z and you this afternoon, mentioning BG Chess and winboard, I have decided to look into BG Chess to use for my multiple chessboard situation. I can open and close different games as their emails come in. Use the already setup Chess environment to validate my moves and, hopefully, keystroke checks for piece attacks. If they don't exist in BG Chess, then I will go to Winboard, like you use, and use all of it's features except making suggestions for best moves.

Hi Alvin, Are you talking about a spreadsheet that would make the move when you type it into a form in algebraic notation? I know of no such thing, but it has to be possible to make such a thing, since you have the whole of VisualBisic for Applications at your disposal. I'd imagine that you could also have as many games going as you'd ever want. All you'd have to do is copying workbooks. Heck, you could probably get one to even read in pgn files for you. But why not get a pgn file viewer program. I'd bet they can be found.
