Removing the final bit and entering http://www.boxhillchess.org.au/live/ does not seem to produce anything, and nor does http://www.boxhillchess.org.au/live/games.pgn. Is there some way to extract the games there?

Answers.Text: @user1205901 That seems to be a bit nastier case. Apparently the file http://www.boxhillchess.org.au/live/tocks.txt lists the game ids (gaa99qt, g6ylh49, gdpam4l, g2jsq6w), and then you can download the game info at http://www.boxhillchess.org.au/live/posgaa99qt.txt (or replace gaa99qt.txt by other ids). With some programming skills, that file could be transformed to a pgn, as it already contains the moves in a pgn-like notation.

  If you remove the last file name, you get the listing of the contents of the directory:
  
  > <http://www.budva2013.org/live/d/>
  
  The .txt files are files used by the Flash program to find the moves. But there also is a pgn file:
  
  > <http://www.budva2013.org/live/d/games.pgn>
  
  However, if I recall correctly, the pgn file does not always exist. If it does not exist, one way would be to write a script that parses the pos##.txt files which contain all moves even when the games are ongoing. I thought of doing that before the pgn files started appearing (probably an update of the dgt software?) in the directories, but never got started.
