Re: Kudos on Training and feature requests.

Thanks for the suggestion. It seemed to export well enough. When I tried to import positions to some test COW Ebook, I get a pop-up message that says that "An EPD record has been found that does not exist in this book. ..." That is true enough as I am importing new positions. Anyway, the i...

Re: Kudos on Training and feature requests.

SOS

I have added one Ebook to another. The "named positions" of the second book did not import. A new command "Import named positions" would be most appreciated.

Re: Kudos on Training and feature requests.

There are several sources of chess games in PGN format. Some are well annotated: ChessPublishing, ChessBase Opening Encyclopedia, Modern-Chess, books from Everyman Chess. Some are less annotated: Chess Informant, Chess Assistant, Chessgames, The Week in Chess. A PGN reader is necessary. I'm familiar...

Kudos on Training and feature requests.

Kudos on the training feature! I'm not sure when it was added but it is definitely valuable. Setting up a training file is a great excercise in understanding the opening. It's not only about the moves. Adding hints, either in text or voice recordings, challenges your thinking. Finally, doing the tra...

Re: COW: your workflow

COW saves your work automatically. This can have pros and cons. Sometimes I have an Ebook that is in pretty good shape. I want to make it better, not worse with excessive (junk) analysis. So I do my analysis in a second Ebook and only retain the best line for the initial Ebook. Here are the steps I ...

Re: phantom positions with inverted analysis

It appears that the results given are what could be expected with colors reversed (if it is White to move the analysis given is for Black to move), and the board is upside down (as if White's pieces start on the seventh and eighth rank while Black's start on the first and second rank). I had a simi...

Re: Import ebook

I wonder if Bluetooth could provide a simpler solution.

That command is no longer available on my tablet. I tried "Cloud Storage" but no file are listed under Dropbox.

Re: Compatibility topics

Chessable: I bought my first Chessable product. I already have a COW eBook on that opening. I want to augment my COW book with information contained in Chessable. Chessable does not have a PGN export command, so a quick automated "Export PGN" then "Import PGN" is out. My computer...

Re: File compression

Thanks for the tip. However, I do not have a wired network between laptops.
