Comparative analysis of chess databases
Sort:
Hi,
because we have them all and can compare them. This is simple facts. We don't want to conclude on anything, it's up to the chess players to decide. All in all, what we say, in contemporary world, it is a must to analyse games with a help of computers and databases in order to save time and be efficient.

I appreciate your numbers without conclusions. I have often wondered where I might find a summary/comparison of the popular databases available today however I have never been able to locate such a report. This is very helpful
Thank you
