Convert Game cheats or chess books (CBC) online for free
The converter easily converts your CBC Cheats or books to various formats - free and online. No ChessBase or or other Database software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Cheat & Chess Data" file type, you need software like ChessBase or a similar tool.
A .cbc file typically stores PlayStation 2 cheat codes used by the CodeBreaker cheat device, or functions as a compressed cheat file for Cheat Engine. It is also heavily used as a proprietary ChessBase book format by ChessBase GmbH to store chess opening trees and database files. Other less common uses include Comic Book Collections generated by Calibre and Bytecode signature databases for the ClamAV antivirus engine.
These formats share severe disadvantages: they are highly fragmented and completely proprietary. A .cbc file from ChessBase cannot be opened by standard text editors or open-source chess engines like Stockfish; it requires an expensive, paid software license to access. CodeBreaker .cbc files are locked to obsolete PS2 hardware or specific emulators. Comic Book Collections in .cbc format are far less widely supported than standard CBZ or CBR archives.
Users frequently need to convert these files to escape vendor lock-in. Chess players must export their data to PGN for universal compatibility. Comic readers need CBZ or EPUB formats to read on modern mobile devices. However, because these files rely on closed binary encoding and highly specific compression routines, standard online converters often fail to process them. They lack the specialized decryption or parsing tools required by the original developers.
This is where our platform helps. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. While some highly encrypted databases require the original software, convert.guru can still identify the specific type of .cbc file, inspect the binary data, and attempt to extract readable text, raw PGN data, or embedded comic images if a supported underlying format is detected.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your CBC file.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CBC converter.
