All, I am returning to USCF competition and I memorize opening variations, despite the argument to stray away from this. My question is: is there a software/freeware/experimental_program available that will aide me in memorizing lines? It does not have to play chess, all it needs to do is hold a variation that I name, and make the moves of the variation as I advance the moves ... and of...

I just received my copy of the Shredder 8 chess program today and I have a question regarding the engine. I was under the impression that the program came with a uci engine as well as the standard engine, but I was not able to locate this file on the disc. Was I mistaken about the uci engine being included? If not, how do I install it? Thanks, Milton
