Very useful! I'll need to look at it at home in Fritz or something but it could be a big help. I play in a weekly tournament and I like to go over my usual openings and any openings I might face the day of/before. Usually I manually go to Game Explorer, enter the first few moves, sort the games by player rating and when they were played ... lather, rinse, repeat for each variation. This could save a lot of time

I think it's great that you spend your time doing this. I'll try and remember the opening I had in my mind a while ago!

I was tempted to cut and paste this as a quote...but I wasn't feeling particularly evil tonight.
Anyhow, who has time to go through all that!?! I have so many chess books now that I don't have time to deal with. If I could just memorize one column of that, I could raise my rating just before giving up on chess altogether or being locked in the nuthouse.
Anything, preferably something fairly mainline. (so it might be useful for more people). Say the 1st 4 or 5 moves...
I then want to generate an Opening report in SCID for that opening, and would like comments on how useful that report is, how to interpret it, which parts you like or don't like.
Anybody?
