C/CIF is an interchange format for chess applications. This format is supporting all features of a chess application - PGN does not provide this - and can be used to transfer chess archives without any loss via an application independent format.

Features

  • Lossless transfer of chess archives
  • Fits to the requirements of modern chess databases
  • Compact binary format and text format (XML)
  • Features cloud databases
  • Supports (nearly) any chess variant
