Sadly, there do not seem to be any tackhammners around. A pity. I prefer tackhammers too, when I'm in a hurry. I fell in love with the Chessbase Database software as soon as I got it. You will too, if you will take the time to explore all that it has to offer. If you use Chessbase Opening Report to produce statistics for a million games, it's going to take awhile. Remember: "Patience is a virtue." Incidentally, I am NOT a paid sales person for Chessbase products. Bob D.
