are there any chess books but with the possibility of playing digital trough the annotated games ?

hello

when i am studying chess (opening middle game or endgame ) , and i use a book , i put the games in pgn and the alternatives also , but however how much fun it is , it is still time consuming , i wonder if there are books that have been put in databases or in pgn ?

thanks

Franky

They have some here. They sell Kasparov's "My Great Predecessors" and Shirov's "Fire on Board" and some other good books that are published in Chessbase and PGN format. Also, if you have some patience you can search around on the internet and find books that people did the same thing as you and took the time to convert a book into PGN or Chessbase with text annotations and uploaded it.

I wonder if there is an app that can just scan a pgn and convert it to a virtual board

I wonder too

there whole lotta chessbase books and then there is https://forwardchess.com/
http://www.eplusbooks.com/ never tried seems to apple specific

as for chess OCR "Use google Luke, use google"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kgroth.chessocr&hl=en is one of the matches

@Kampfknoppers
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but "Chessify" scans printed diagrams and converts them to a digital board.

you mean something like this https://chessishard.com/, you can write chess articles and it shows you the board

If the book is in pdf there is chessvision.ai ebook reader which will analyze all the diagrams and has stockfish engine built into the reader.

A lot of people have created studies here on lichess where they have already entered the games (some with variations and notes). Under the menu Learn --> Study, search for the book or author. For example, Chernev will get you Logical Chess Move by Move, and Most Instructive Games; Reti - Masters of the Chessboard; Capablanca- My Chess Career, Best Endings, etc.
