Programs that complement IRC Chess
IRC Chess Saved Game Converter (to PGN)
"PGN" stands for "Portable Game Notation."
This notation is a normal Ascii text file which has in it the moves of a saved chess game.
The files can be read,edited and/or printed using a text editor.
Most of the saved games on the internet are in PGN.
It's only drawback is that text files and big in file size when you have a million games, but for a quick thousand it is very small.
Another thing about PGN Files is that multiple games can be in the one file.

A Chess Game Viewer/Editor for PGN Games
