Is their a cheap (under $20) database program where you can store your own games and play them on a computer chess board. I don't care if it anlyses my games, Ill try and do that on my own, I just want a place where I can store my games from noncomputer/internet sources.
Remember- for what im looking for...cheaper is better

Originally posted by c guy1Personally, I would not bother. There is no substitute for just getting out a board and playing through your games slowly to find mistakes.

In analysing any game: I advise playing through the game quickly at first to get a feel for it, and then playing through slowly, spending a few minutes on what move you would play next and evaluating your choice compared with the text. I find you can learn a lot with this method.

Download the free Chessbase Lite. It will store 8000 games in the db and has a free analysis engine.

I'm sure somone here can tell you what the problem is. If it absolutely refuses to run go to the above site and download Chesspad. It's also free and you can use one of the free engines for analysis. They also have plenty of other free stuff to experiment with.
