All comments welcome. >Regards >Tony If you are familiar with Chessbase "trees", Bookup is somewhat similar; it is a chess _position_ database program, not a _games_ database program. It will allow you to backsolve the trees, it handles transpositions a little bit better (IMHO) than chessbase, you can export positions (either all positions or just leaf nodes) to EPD files for analysis by programs such as Shredder (classic GUI); this can sometimes be useful for finding TN's. Bookup is also good for creating your own opening repertoire database for personal study (for example you can add comments and evaluations in any position); and it can be used to create (by hand) endgame databases to help analyze certain endgames that have very large numbers of transpositions. All that said, it is not a tool for everyone. If you have chessbase you might find that Bookup is a little expensive for relatively few new features. -Robin
