Can it handle a massive database? (e.g. my 7.8 million game one)
ChessX
Sort:
Update: the answer is, no, it can't. It took over 30 mins to open a 2.2-million PGN, so I didn't bother trying with the larger one. Also, all the game moves were listed as 0.
Scid and Perfect Chess Database can handle my giant PGN. Shame, as it is otherwise an attractive-looking app.

The first time it opens a huge database it is slow. After the first time it caches indices and is far faster.
