I just checked: The Database has over 122,00 entries - mostly games, but some analysis and some historical notes, too.
That's a lot to keep track of, organize, and learn from.
Especially, learn.
The Database is in Chessbase 9, a version so old that, when I contacted the Chessbase people in Germany with a question - I was told that, sorry, nobody had that old version lying around in the office...
The Database is also not designed to teach.
So I have turned to the modern version of a program that I had used, back in my Apple IIGS days. Back then, the program was called Bookup. Today, it is the Chess Openings Wizard.
I am beta testing the latest version of Chess OpeningsWizard, with high hopes that it will improve my Jerome Gambit knowledge - much faster than going back to the first blog post and reading all almost 5,000 posts!
