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.
