CHESS PGN FILES SOFTWARE

Have an analysis database open where an engine can be analysing your game.Manage multiple databases at the same time to perform distinct operations simultaneously:.Analyse games of your favourite player and get additional information about the player, their moves, openings and performances.prepare for an opponent by generating a database of their games and having their opening repertoire tree presented automatically.maintain a database of your own games to get an automatic opening repertoire tree generated for you.Manage your games better by using databases not just as a repository to store games but as a way of organising your games and analysis, for example you can store your games in multiple databases for different purposes:.Enable real-time access to other games which have encountered the same position to see how those games progressed.Show what other players have played before in the same position and how they faired statistically.Compare in real-time the current game to other games played in the database.The game can draw on information from the other games already in the database in a number of ways:.Choosing a database first sets the context for the game and leverages other related information in a database to make the entry, analysis or viewing of a game more informative.Using a database first and multi-database approach gives some genuine advantages over the traditional approach: These two facets of database first and multi-database capabilities enable much more powerful solutions than a single game, single database approach more normally used. Secondly HIARCS Chess Explorer is a multi-database program, that means you can open, view, manipulate and analyse games from multiple databases simultaneously. HIARCS Chess Explorer uses a database first approach, this means you open the database you are interested in first and then you can view, modify, delete or add games to it. We will explore this in more detail below. We believe this approach is not as powerful as the database centric paradigm that HIARCS Chess Explorer uses.

Most chess software focuses just on the current game and the database is a secondary concern mainly used as a repository to store and retrieve games. In the context of a chess game HIARCS Chess Explorer uses a different approach to most other chess software. It does not support any non standard format of database. HIARCS Chess Explorer reads and writes chess databases in PGN format.
