Dann is right. My power of comparison has ended in the last post.
I have Bookup and Chess Assistant Demo. That's all I can say.
Download the bookup demo and see for yourself. Another thing that
bookup had at the time I bought it (I do not know if it is still available,
check their web site) is the possibility to return it with not question if you
do not like it. I believe that it is important since I think it is not
inexpensive.

Miguel
