What is a TUR file?

TUR files mostly belong to ChessBase. TUR files serve specific functions in two distinct areas.
Chess Game Data:

These files contain chess game notation and tournament results.

They store move sequences and related tournament details in a proprietary format used by ChessBase and Scid vs. PC.

For more on chess data, see ChessBase.

Cycling Data:

Some TUR files hold HACtronic cycling data.

They record GPS tracks and cycling performance details.

Viewing and Editing:

Use specialized chess software to open and view notation files.

For cycling files, use tracking software that supports GPS data.

How to open a TUR file

You need a suitable software like ChessBase to open a TUR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TUR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TUR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Associate the TUR file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest TUR file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available ChessBase update.
To make sure that your TUR file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
