"I have not had a fault-free import yet from Everyman Chess."

I have to correct that. My Great Predecessors by Kasparov seems to have read in just fine. I have had trouble with the opening books from Everyman Chess.

Sorry about the small diagram! It occurred to me that Build 112, or simply a new COW Express download, might solve all problems. I tried again. I used the Everyman Chess PGN file for David Vigorito's book Attacking Chess King's Indian Defense vol 1. It imported quickly into COW Express. I played out...

Screenshot (1) - Copy 2.png Everyman chess seems fully committed to publishing their books in electronic form. I recently bought the 5 volume My Great Predecessors for $33. To the left is a page from Volume 2 in the Kindle format.To the right is the same position in COW Pro. (Note that some of the ...

I had to adjust the resolution down a couple of times before posting at this site. So the original is much easier to read!

I've learned a little more. For CA users, do a search and find your games. Then go to "Advanced" to "Statistics" and "results." It was easier in Exachess!
