Hello,
I just follow this old thread to describe some of my experiences. Some
points may not be valid, because I don't know the product good enough...
My goal is still to annotate a game or to analyze a variation. So I open my
reference database in tree mode, open from there the window with the top
games. Then I open the game I want to analyze from a different database. If
I now move around I can see the statistics from the reference database, and
the best games with the current position in the top games window.
What I do not see in the top game window is which of these games are
commented and who created the comments. OK, I replay games from top players,
but there may be an important game X-Y commented by a top player and for
sure I will miss it.
If I load a game from the top games window into the browser and I have some
doubts about its quality or the quality of its comments, I can do nothing. I
cannot start the engine. I cannot find out who created the comment. I even
cannot easily copy the game to the clipboard to do such things. OK, somehow
I can get what I want, but too much clicks for something I do a hundred
times during one session.
When I want to add an question mark to a move. I have to open the annotation
window. This creates for unknown reason 100% CPU load on one processor. This
is a bug, but setting elementary comments should work through shortcuts.
I have converted my database from Chessbase format through PGN to SI3.
Chessbase displays standard annotations (Chess-Informant symbols) in PGN as
something like "$12". When converting to si3 these comments are not
converted. So a lot of very valuable information is lost.
