Programm to create opening database

#1

Hi!

I want to create my own opening database offline just in order to organize my knowledge.

I.e. I don't need complicated programms, strong engines to analyse, a lot of menus, statistics and other "advanced" stuff. Just simple to operate program where I can save on my computer few opening lines, and maybe attach few games. Does such a programm exists?

I would use SCID vs. PC. It will be easy to do what you want to do, and if you ever find yourself wanting some of those extra features, you'll have them.

What the SCID exactly mean?

"Shane's Chess Information Database" I think, after the original programmer's first name. The original SCID (I think) is no longer updated, but there's a fork of it called "SCID vs. PC" which a lot of people like.

I am using Chess Position Trainer to organize, manage and train my repertoire. Not free in it´s full extent, but not really expensive. I like it nevertheless. ;-)

BTW, Scid is still updated and is actually better than Scid vs. PC now IMO.

Agree that Chess Position Trainer is great. The free version would be more than enough for organization purposes. I bought it a few years ago and use it constantly.

Thanks all! I have downloaded "SCID vs. PC" and it seems to offer what I want. I am going practice more with this programm and will see...

I have an own project which can do this:

https://github.com/scalachessgui/scalachessgui

This is a chess GUI written in Scala, however it runs under Java 8+ ( you need not install the Scala language ).

It supports all lichess variants and you can build a book from multiple game PGNs. The moves can be annotated with color coded annotations.

Here is the book view:

The book lists all games for a given position:
