How do you download your game records that you have played on IGS pandanet? Is it possible to get them all in SGF format? I have been playing many games (almost 40 thousands games). I would like to have them in SGF format.

Click on your name in the list of users and you'll get an option to see your game archive. Once that opens, when you click on an individual game, you are given the option to download it or to open it from the server. If you open it from the server, there is also an option in the toolbox (the wrench icon) to save the file as an SGF. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do a batch download from the client.

That said, there is also the "Net Social Plaza" (https://my.pandanet.co.jp/index-e.htm) which gives also allows you to access your game via a browser. So, you could scrape them, but that obviously requires some know-how.

Thanks for your response.

I have been using panda-egg as an IGS client program. This gives me chance to view my game records, but there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to download.

I have tried 'net social plaza", but this is my first to come here. So Can you give me more details how to do it in the "net social plaza"?

I managed to download my game!

The procedure is:

1) Get in the "net social plaza"
2) Click "Click here for today's result" (on the right hand side of ID photo).
3) Click "[Change search conditions] (green color text) on the right.
4) Fill the blank with your "UserID (Player Name)", then click "Search", which will show your game records. Now you can download one by one by clicking "SGF".
