Go up one level in this thread


I'm doing a similar project with another book, Small Encyclopedia of Chess
Openings, 2nd edition (Small ECO/2).  The book contains 1667 individual lines,
across all ECO codes.  I've finished ECO code A and am 1/2 way through ECO code
B, and I haven't found a single typo.

On a bigger scale, I plan to enter a larger ECO collection that contains 8047
lines across all ECO codes.

The problem that I've encountered is not publisher typos but HUMAN ERROR :(
After spending long periods in front of a Bookup 2000 screen, human fatigue
begins to affect the quality of my data entry.

These data entry projects are part of a larger dream that I have... a new
Winboard GUI with built-in GUI book and access to the Nalimov tablebases :)
Still a few years off.
