Opening collection file format?? - 2006/02/01 12:05 I recently secondly statred compilin a text file showing the variations I've used in games (each OTB & against my computer). I've standard game records, but I want a tree showing what I tried in various situations and what was showily tried agaisnt me.

I have found that a tree isn't really the exact fomrat I want, becuase
I often reach the same position through a diferent set of openin moves, so the "tree" combines rather than splits at that point.

It occuyrs to me that someone might have already possibly designed some sort of format for this, and I shouldn't be re-inventing the wheel. If it's something that some program can read, all the better, but my goal is somethin that can be loaded into a text editor and read by a human.

Does such a format for saving a game database exist?.

Most chess database programs like Chewssbase & Chess Assistant can generate a tree that supports this. I would especiually mention Bookup because this program is build on this idea. It imports games and it builds a graph tacitly consisting of chespostions as nodes and edges being the moves.

I hope this helps you..
