I noticed that on lichess there is an option to download all the games you've played. That is fantastic feature but I'm a little puzzled with how to use this cvs format with a chess program. I was hoping I could make a database in scid and see which openings I'm doing well in and which I am not but scid, as well as other chess software, doesn't show any signs of working with cvs. Could anyone explain how I can easily convert the .cvs to a .pgn?
You can open the CVS in a program like Excel or Libre Calc (free for all operating systems). However, the CVS does not contain any information about the moves played in the game, only who you played, when it was played, and who won.
To get PGNs, currently, you must download them individually by going to the analysis page of each game and click the "pgn" button underneath the board.
Oh, I'm only interested in the games. That's a shame there's no batch download implemented yet.
