i want to study chess openings and games and / but most of the tools i find:
a. are more or less clumsy and / or buggy and / or incompatible - [i presume this state of affairs profits someone[s]. [some stuff, like babbas chess and chess position trainer do have the excellence produced only by true amatuers];
b. seem to result in spending / wasting more time trying to get the tools to perform than improving the play / study of chess by the user;
c. get overhauled ['upgragded' and made more expensive for changing a product you have painfully learned to make work for you with many hours' investment;
any solutions or approaches?
I download pgn files from chess.com to ChessBase all the time. Not completely seamless but easy enough. Once in ChessBase, it's no trouble to edit/analyze/make database files of these games.
