Sorry about the mis-attribution. How about thanks for bringing it to our attention? :) It is sad that you can't search for position; and the tree only handles 2000 games, so you can't drill down to it (ala CDB) in large databases. On the upside, however, it has a gorgeous interface, and nice exporting capabilities. For me, I guess the two most important features that could be added to it would be position search, and some kind of engine interface (again ala Peter Klausler's excellent CDB). But I still like it; It'll be interesting to see it's development over time.
