Re: Where is the .4MD file stored? No engine, correct?

I'll leave your first question to other people to address.

"2) no engine for the Android version of Bookup's Chess Openings Wizard, correct?" That is correct.

Re: Kudos on Training and feature requests.

Sometimes I'll create an Ebook "in Black and White." Cyrus Lakdawala wrote a book (Everyman) on the French Defense as Black. Ruslan Ponomariov (Modern-chess) developed a repertoire based on 3Nc3 by White in the French. I merged the two books in COW to create the Ebook which I named "T...

Re: Kudos on Training and feature requests.

As you may know, I think that combining Ebooks in COW is a highly valuable feature. All moves and comments from various authors are in one place. Pre-editing the PGN provides attribution to the comment, for example: Marin: Xxx, Ponomariov: Xxx, Lakadawala: Xxx. There are many ways to combine books. ...

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...
