Go up one level in this thread


In this I have to recommend something brilliant that has (and is), already being
done.  Go to www.Chessbaseusa.com and click on Steve Lopez's T-Notes.  There you
will find everything you could possibly want to know about using Chess Base &
Fritz products. (And if not, email Steve, & tell him what you want to see!)

For some excellently written reviews of many chess software products, go through
the Computer Chess Resource Center.  There is a lot good here...

I'd like to see here more generalized discussion(s) about many of the different
available programs, and I don't much care what the level of 'expertise' is of
the contributer.  As things stand now, people talk here about what THEY think is
important, not about my specific desires.  In a way, this is good, because I
will often learn about some topic, that I would otherwise have been uninterested
in...
