Can anyone give me any info on chessbase reader? And I do mean any info...honestly any advice would be appreciated, as I am wondering if this is a program that could help me improve. Thanks.

Can you use Chessbase reader to analyze games and study mistakes? Will it help educate me on my blunders and suggest what the stronger move would have been?
Originally posted by dirtysniperIf you're just looking for something to help you analyze a game, you might want to check out Zarkon Fischer's site. It has good descriptions of a number of free programs like Scid, CA7 Light, Chessbase Light, and Arena. But the really nice thing about the descriptions is that he also discusses the limitations of the programs.
