Maybe I'm missing something but isn't regular cat good enough?

        cat *.pgn >target.file

Also, ls/xargs won't help here.  If 'cat *.pgn' creates too long of a command
line, so will 'ls *.pgn'.  Variations around find(1) would work, though.
Something like:

        find . -name '*.pgn' | xargs cat >target.file

HTH,
