.CMT File Extension

Chessmaster uses the CMT extension for their tournament games. I have seen it in CM8 & CM9.

The problem is that I cannot get the games out of the CMT file. Chessmaster has no function for this in the above versions.

I know that CM5 & CM55 had a function that displayed a dialog box containing all the tournament games. You just selected a game and loaded it.

However, the main problem with all versions was that you could not convert/export the CMT games to a PGN file.

Why would they lock your games and not allow you access to them? I just cannot get my mind around something so stupid.

I have done a lot of searching on the web to find a way to get the games out of the CMT file: it was a nightmare. No one seems to know that Chessmaster uses the CMT extension.

Any help will be appreciated.
