I have put a new release of ChessDB on Sourceforge. Major changes are:
* Connects to ICC to download games !! I believe this is a feature that not even ChessBase has. Some information about this is at: http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/tutorial/icc-fics-retriveal.php I think this can be a very useful way of getting played by people of your own ability, or those of people you teach. Whilst studying the games of GMs is useful, there is a lot to be gained by studying games played by people of your own level too. (As a matter of interest, is anyone reading these lists a GM??) * Larger pieces, upto 90 pixels, supplied to me by Stuart Owen. * You can import multiple PGN files contained in the one directory, without importing the files individually, or using 'cat' (UNIX) or 'copy' (Windows) to make a large PGN first. * Increased the size of the clipbase (in memory database) from 50,000 games to 2 million games. There is a choice of 4 files. 1) Full Windows Installation (36 MB) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/chessdb/ChessDB-with-4pieceEGTB-3.6.14.exe 2) Minimal Windows Installation (6.5 MB) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/chessdb/ChessDB-3.6.14.exe 3) Source code for UNIX/Linux people (8,3 MB) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/chessdb/ChessDB-3.6.14.tar.gz The full Windows install includes the 3 AND the 4-piece endgame tablebases. The UNIX tarball and minimal Windows installation both include the 3-piece tablebases but do NOT include in the 4-piece ones. The 4-piece tablebases are available separately at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/chessdb/4-piece-tablebases.zip Let me knnow if you have any problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
