user1855: the program should display a PGN file, be fast to run, and absolutely be expected to be callable by the command line (passing the PGN file as an argument).
The reason is I began to create a concept map about an opening, and I can call from this map some EXE programs. I would like to display some games as examples of the nodes.
I already searched, but till now I found nothing.

user8472: There are at least two Windows programs that you can start per command line: Arena and SCID (or SCID vs PC).
Arena
To open a PGN file in Arena, call it with:
Arena.exe -loadgamefile "path/to/sample.pgn"

There are many more options listed in the help file under Miscellaneous/Command Line Parameters. analyze is particular useful.
SCID and SCIDvsPC
Both come with the same very small set of command line options. Again see the help file.
Open a PGN file with:
scid.exe "path/to/sample.pgn"

Arena's command line support is far superior in my opinion.
