POLL: Do you like to use MCO'S or online Data bases?

"Hey, they just mentioned me on the telly!"

a mco is a chess book on openings, it full name is Modern chess openings.

I disagree!

Just a reference book. 

THIS IS A POLL GUYS!!!!!!!!
 

I use MCO to find out what my opponents will play, then try to find busts to MCO using databases and more specialized opening books. 

An MCO is a Modern Chess Opening...they're in most chess books about openings.

When I am out and about I like to pull my small chess set and my copy of MCO out of my pack to study.  Harder to do with a database (and no wifi) so my vote is for MCO

You can access databases online, along with a small chess set that you don't have to worry about losing the pieces. So you have access to databases on your cell phone.

Advantage: modern technology.

mco:6 data;6

So which are considered to be the best opening databases?

"Best" is relative. For ease of use, including how easy it is to update, Chessbase has a virtual monopoly on the database market. But there are plenty of excellent databases available to peruse online for free, including correspondence databases. 

I used MCO once, in 2007, and used it more often in 1998. 

I use the Game Explorer (online database) regularly, but when I am serious about a game, use ChessBase and ECO (both via software on my computer).

mco:7 data:7

hey any more poll votes?

NO!

ok.....

IF NO ONE else votes its a draw. MCO:7 DATA:7

Thank heavens! The more people who rely on MCO instead of more up-to-date and accurate sources, the better for the rest of us!
