Should I get a huge harddisk? CBH is a private format so you cannot access those databases outside of a ChessBase program CBF is too, but it was reverse-engineered once, so you may have more luck, still PGN is the standard for import/export You can convert them to PGN and import them into SCID (scid.sourceforge.net), and then delete the PGN files afterwards. I don't think there is much SCID _can't do_. It has it's own fast and compact database format. >2) What about connecting to the Chess Servers?

No idea. >4) Running engines: can I use Ken Thompson's tablebases, or only Nalimov's? Not sure what you mean here...what has this got to do with Unix? -- GCP
