Do you mean an opening book explorer tree? Also are you on computer or Android?
How many moves in depth does the game explorer go?

I mean the game explorer available in daily chess games: http://www.chess.com/explorer/, I try to explore different moves and I can't at around move 5 when it says: 'You must purchase a Premium Membership to go deeper in your Explorer analysis.' I was wondering how many moves deep do premium members get to go.
it's a data base of master games so as long as the moves you input were in one of the games in the database it will keep going. Once a move is made that isn't in any of the games it will say something like 'there are no games in the database with this position'.
I was just looking at the games of one player, Ramon Palatan, who has played many thousands of games of online daily (correspondence type) chess. I followed one line out to 12 moves before it broke down into individual games.
// I look at this and wonder why he decided to go with 3 c4. I can understand wanting to avoid book lines but it puts him into a bad situation pretty quickly.

According to the chess.com rules is it okay to use database and other games in correspondence chess for as many moves as possible?

Yes, opening databases have been allowed for as many moves as are contained in the database. Now that many lines are shown out to 20+ moves and they are also showing computer evaluations along with the moves, it has become a competition amongst databases.
If you are looking for a master game database, there are much bigger and more current ones than the one here. The free one from Chessbase is pretty good.
I thought you might be interested in the Game Explorer to look at your own games.

It is permissable in CC to look at as many games/books/theory as you want, but not permissable to input positions into an engine (obviously) or discuss your games with anyone else. I personally wouldn't advise using the database to make your moves because you won't really learn anything, although if it's a crutch to get you going in games until you're better then I guess it serves some purpose. I think it's more helpful to analyse your games afterwards to look at inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders and see what would have been better moves. I do use the database though to see what opening was used against me - it will say underneath the game at each point what a particular line is called and that's pretty handy for exploring different openings.
I am not a premium member and I'm wondering how far in depth the game explorer goes for premium members. I currently use a different website for database when playing online chess and would like to know how many moves the chess.com game explorer goes in depth for premium members.
