 Well, If your getting serious about studying chess I suggest you get either
chessbase or chess assistant. There is no substitute for a good database
program. I use CB 9 and love it. Manipulating databases is very easy, you can
use all your chessbase and UCI engines for analysis, and even use it for your
website.
Good Luck
