cp-1250 is Windows, indeed. It might be worth while to hack together a
small shell script converting cp-1250 to UTF-8. Something like
----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
iconv -f cp1250 -t utf-8 $1 -o `basename $1 .pgn`_utf-8.pgn$out
----------------------------------------------------------------
might do converting in.pgn to in_utf-8.pgn.

I think the canonical tool these days is iconv, it should even be
available by default.

Well, that's the mess with code pages. If you assume it is UTF-8 and
treat it as UTF-8 but it's cp-1250 instead you get a lot of funny
things. However, if you can't read the language you don't even notice
that something is wrong ;)
Anyway, nice that the problem is solved :)
