Database software

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd share a great tool I've recently started using. ChessMicrobase.com is an online chess database, which has just about made ChessBase redundant for me.

I can store and annotate all my games and there is a nice feature to embed on my blog or share games or databases with friends via a link.

I also have created databases for various openings and save the key games in each variation into the microbase. Then when I'm at a tournament and need to prepare I can quickly browse through the games on my iphone (because the database is online I don't need my laptop with me!).

It also runs a little chess engine which seems pretty strong - although don't open it in too many windows or else your computer really starts going slow!!

The free version only gives you 3 databases with 100 games in each - which has been enough for me so far, but for only $20 the premium version has something like 1000 bases.

Hope this helps you...

And you wouldn't happen to own/run this site, would you?

vadsamoht yes he does own it.

^ Yeah, I looked at the WHOIS as well. I just wanted to give the guy a chance to own up first.

EDIT: It's a pity, because if he'd just been honest and said "I made this website that does x, check it out" I might have considered using it.

Yeah that is very true though id prefer my chessbase over anything else anyhow.

Looks good. Will give it a test.

Chessmicrobase is awesome! Don't just judge it by who is promoting it. It's easy to use, variations, labels, comments, EASY interface (I have to repeate this one). It's internet based so you can use it anywhere and just send a link to specific game to anyone you with to share. But the most important thing for me is the USAGE of the arrows and square highlights!!  If chess.com adds this feature it would be incredible. I know it has on the live games for (ultra!) premium users. But that sucks- I am premium user and I cannot use it... It should exist on blogs at least. I take some of my games from chess.com and review it there. I can not express for how long I was looking for something like this on internet...
