There are free engines on the web with which you can analyse your games, play against, set up positions and a lot more stuff. You can download it here.
e-reader as a tool for game analysis
Sort:
newbie to this great site. Just did my first computer analysis of a game, did not know what to expect but it's fun to see how the computer shows me my mistakes and inaccuracies and suggests other lines. I am definitely thinking of upgrading just for the analyses alone.
Just a thought, may be far-fetched - e-readers (kindle, nook, etc.) could be a great tool for reading analyses. Each page of the e-book document (be it epub or something else) will show one move and the computer's comments. so essentially each "flip" of the page will advance one step. The reason why I think e-reader would be great is that reading on e-ink is much less tiring to the eyes, and e-readers are very portable, so one could study his/her game during lunch, on train, in bathroom, etc.
Of course I have no idea of the programming required to turn an analysis into a e-book but I thought it sounds quite feasible - basically capturing the board image and the comments and turn it into an individual page, and repeat for each move, a task that sounds like a perfect task for the computer. I hope one day some savvy user could come up with an app to implement such idea. any thoughts and heard anything similar?
