Thanks for the pointers, I'll take a look. However, the
TascBase 2.0 shot (at http://www.tasc.nl/products/tascbase.html),
especially: http://www.tasc.nl/screens/tbase-3.gif
says:
"The database is shown in one of two ways. The classical list view shows
all in the current key, as well as any child-keys. A new feature is the
database overview, which shows the key structure as a tree of variations."
Which gave me the impression that this was something recent - unless
TascBase 2.0 is an old version?
I'll poke around, though. Did you look at:
- Chess Tree: http://www.shensoft.com/chestree.htm
- Chess Map: http://www.chessmaps.com/
- Extreme Chess 98: http://www.allaboutgames.com/powerchess98 ?
They were more what I had in mind.
Thanks,
Richard
