Bookup : forum not serious, to much spam

I am curious if Mike will ever start cleaning up this forum. There is to much spam to take it serious. At the moment i am working on my best database ever. It contains over 900.000 positions from all known openings that are played by top-players regulary according to the Lumbrasgigabase ( https://lu...

Bookup forum becomes unusable

Next adjust with youre desktop COW-program *app-book* and after done with that download it again to youre phon...

Re: Sharing my database with the community

Hello chuckbro, i use it myself for my correspondence games. But i think that for people who want to build a good database this is a good start. I am constantly updating the lines with ° Chessable ° and ° Grandmaster Repertoire ° files. I am going to load this file onto my android and see if that is...

Re: Import EPD | Allow New Positions

I checked it. You are absolutely correct. The new position isnt entered into the database. A little question i have for Mike, what would be the reason for importing epd positions into an EBook. These new positions arent linked to any other position so the only way you would use these is when you (ac...

Re: Import EPD | Allow New Positions

Hello gbertazzo, very strange, when i first enter the moves 1.e4 d5 2.ed5 Qd5 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 and after that 1.e4 d5 2.ed5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Nf6 When hitting CRTRL T the move Nf3 appears. When this is not the case then something is wrong. You simplefy it, first enter 1.e4 e5 2.d4 then enter 1.d4 e5 and hit...

Re: Import EPD | Allow New Positions

I have not checked it. But you say you imported a new position but you didnt add the move 3.Bb5 to the excisting position (manualy or with CTRL-T) after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6. So the program is in my opinion doing the correct thing, because you dont want all possible moves that lead to a certain positio...
