BACKGROUND
It is possible to use this database to store correspondence games. 
You can also store clerical information along with the notes.
Rather than having to play out your games from scratch all the time, you 
could play them out using the program then set up the position on a 
chessboard. 

The program comes with a collection of famous unannotated games which you can
play over at whatever speed you like. At slow speed you can study the
game. 
Playing over games at high speed may help develop your chess intuition.

It is possible to use the program for a 2 player game of chess, but this has
no advantage over using a chessboard and set, apart from novelty value and
the fact that the game is being recorded and can be replayed.

Each game is stored as a single ASCII file. This makes it easy for you
to edit a game and its notes with your favourite text editor, or print it 
out if you have a printer.

However, be careful that the original format of the game is not changed,
otherwise the program may not be able to use that game. All moves must be 4
characters in length, and start in the left hand margin. All notes must be
indented by one or more spaces. (This is how the program distinguishs notes
from moves).

You may wish to annotate your or somebody elses games. Annotating games is
an excellent way of improving your chess. Australian C.J.S.Purdy, World
Correspondence Champion of the world recommended annotating games as the
best way for players near master stength to improve.

Going over your own games is one of the most important ways of improving.
