I thought some of you might want to check out my lastest project - an online chess database. I think it's decent at this point. Among other things it has positional search and opening/position statistics with over 2.5 million games online. Of course, its free to use. See: http://www.mychess.com/chessdb Let me know what you think... Thanks,

I have alot of different engines

I bought these disks a long time ago and they still work great but one day these floppies are going to fail and I'll only have them on hard drives. Is there any way to copy them safely to a CD. I would hate to lose this program forever. I have many dos chess programs and database programs. I like to collect Dos games especially chess. EZoto

Can it be done?

Fritz FileNewRating List opens a dialog box to save a file *.elo but does nothing. Anyone knows why? Thanks. Mike.

Deep Fritz 8 cannot understand Crafty 20.14 engine. Any hints to overcome this problem?

Anyone knows if Rosemary Fischer of Milwaukee (born circa 1914) was Bobby Fischer's mum? Was she a beauty queen as well as the second prize winner at American Chess Federation's Women's championship in Chicago 1937? Any info is appreciated. Mike.

Ivan= white ....fritz=black... Fritz has beaten Ivan as black and white so now Fritz is set up to move in 5 seconds and it is set to play like GM Gerry Kasporove .. Ivan only can play white from the 7th and 8th rank..Here is the set up now.... White Rooks on A-8 and E-8. Bishops on C-8 and D-6

I'm trying to set up my crafty engine with a new opening book to study. When I use the book command (I use book create filename.pgn 20 40 60, in this case on a file with 2000 games roughly), and try to play afterwords I get some errors. Winboard pops up saying it can't load crafty, and in crafty I get the error: ERROR! book.bin not made by version 17.0 or later I don't know what's up, any...

Hi, I saw that crafty (and others e.g. gnuchess(!)) start moving when received a move after a 'force'. It also seems that icsDrone depends on this behaviour? Now just the get all ambiguities out of the way: - xboard / protover 2 / force / edit / . / e2e4 (or whatever move) does NOT start the clock - xboard / protover 2 / force / white / e2e4 *DOES* start the clock am I right?

Hi, I'm using icsDrone to interface my chess-program (POS) to FreeChess. Now some problems occur: - sometimes I receive o for short castling and oo for long castling - then sometimes I receive o- for long castling (not sure what I'll get then for short) and maybe other variants as well. Can someone please tell me which variants are possible? Or is there a document on the web somewhere (that I...

I own both Shredder and CB 9. I recently tried to log in and they asked for a serial number. Does CB ownership provide a serial number (and membership in Playchess) for life? Or is it a one-year subscription? Thanks, Angelo

I'm relatively new to Fritz. I've tried twice to get Fritz 9 to do a full analysis of a game. I gets to a certain point and gives me a runtime error. Can somebody tell me why and what to do about it? Wilma

I've been having a bit of a tough time on ICC lately, loosing virtually all my games, although I won the one below as black. I made a sacrifice at 24...Rxd4, loosing a rook, but winning a pawn and knight. I thought I'd be better in the endgame with the extra pawn - I has slightly more material before this exchange, but after it I had just one extra pawn. I've analaysed this game with two...

Sorry, I meant to post this on rec.games.chess.computer not the rec.games.chess.analysis I'm sending again, to both this time. dave Dave (from the UK) wrote: Some may recall my annoyance that Chessbase have screwed up their web server so the online database no longer works with their commercial
