Hi all,
Are there any PGN databases out there that just cover miniatures (say victories within 15 moves)?
I have lots of books of miniatures and opening traps, but it is highly inefficient to input them individually into a personal database.
I think it'd be awesome if a stock-ready miniature database existed.
Thanks! I downloaded it on my mac and got the "text" version. I then downloaded onto my Windows to import into Chess Openings Wizards but it didn't work. Oh well.
I'll give it a shot with MasterChess 7000. Thanks for the suggestion.

have you tried filtering a normal dbase with the number of moves specified. This filtered set could then be saved.
Bingo! That's the easiest way to find them. Use your largest database to filter, then save the search results as a separate database.
