Subject: Palm versus Pocket PC - Chess database question

Author: Bob Bachman

Date: 09:46:06 11/29/03


I am considering purchasing a palm/pocket PC for the explicit purpose of
playing/studying chess while travelling. I have read the reviews and as far as
playing strength of the various programs on the two platforms goes, I have no
preference (they are all good). So I do not need advice there.

I spend a significant amount of time not playing games but studying tactical or
endgame positions which exist in Chessbase databases I have on my PC. Now the
question, how easy is it to create a database with a substantial number of
postions from existing Chessbase databases (maybe a subset if space requires)
for the programs on the various platforms. A conversion to other formats is
acceptable. Can the various programs load these easily from a single database
file and effectively scroll through them as the postions are solved.

Anyone have real experience doing just this with the programs?

Bob
