Free pgn software for windows

Chess Playing software as FRITZ, ARENA, WINBOARD and other in order to play a chess game they need it in algebraic notation -in English Language- and better in pgn standards, otherwise the file does not open.
Pgn files are normal text files that can be opened with a Notepad or other editor and be adjusted or modified. A game in pgn standards is reported at the end of this Help file. The pgn standards are given to you here and are included in your zip file you downloaded.
