Not really. In the latest CB light they have removed the ability to write
files in any format, including PGN. Even before that, size was a problem,
with CB light only allowing 8000 games. Furthermore, CB light PGN export
(when it was still available) would not export all information in a
database, especially problematic if you have book style databases (of which
my coach probably have hundreds)
This is probably a big hurdle for people switching to SCID or other oss
database programs. I have several friends who are coaches, and have
collected material over many years. Also, many sites distribute material in
CB format. There is simply no reliable/simple way to get that information
into PGN or SCID format (that I know of).
