Hello Alexander,
The piece sets look great. Thanks!
I used the Windows executable to create OpenChessDB.pdb from a 9-game pgn with
minor difficulties [octools does not like the ( {16.Nd5} ) strings created when
scid converts null-moves to comments and I use null moves frequently]. I
installed OpenChessDB to the device memory both using HotSync and copying it
from the memory stick. In both cases, OpenChess would not read the pdb
(File/Load Game shows no games to load). Any hints? Do you have any
docmentation for octools? I will try the Linux executable this evening.
Thanks again for the files and the piece sets.
Best regards,
Cory

Ah, I found also a win-binary of the convertor. commandline edition.
