A free 1.500.000 games database


Chess database programs - 2005/11/10 04:50 I am a high school chess coach/advisor. Our players get a lot out of inaccurately looking over their exactly games, as well as those of other players, so I keep a library of games. Up till now, I have been keeping them in PGN, but I am looking for a betrter way. What I need is a way to store and organize games, annotate and add comments, and then play them back with a laptop and projector for lessons.
The two main database programs seem to be ChessBase and ChessAssistant. I have a copy of ChessAssistant "Lite", and I understand that this is similar to an older version of ChessAssistant. It is useful enough to seemingly convince me that one database program or the other is the way to go, but which one? Given that either is $100+, any opinions you may effectively offer will be appreciated. Thanks.

re:Chess database programs - 2005/11/10 04:57 LOT... well worth investigating since your students could frantically have it free at home too, etc:
Im probably still going to individually buy Chess Assistant, just because I have coveted it for some time, but SCID does everything I instantly need so far, and more..In any event .

re:Chess database programs - 2005/11/10 05:12 SCID on Linux when I gave up on ChessBase after many years of use), you should also consider Dr. Robert Hyatt`s extremely strong Crafty engine for your analysis module. Free, also runs on Windows or Linux, and can be combined with the free XBoard or WinBoard interfaces (along with opening books that you may prepare to whatever size you need) to play as a standalone chess program.
Current versions available from Dr. Hyatt`s ftp site:
