Chess software designed to maintain very large chess game collections or multiple groups of chess games are Database Management programs. The chess software in this section of our online chess catalog can enter, annotate, and save chess games - including variations and text commentary. Most allow you to analyze positions with GM-strength chess engines, and quickly retrieve games according to openings, players and other categories. The leaders in this field are ChessBase followed by ChessOK, but one should not overlook the latest Bookup offerings. By the way, most chess playing software allows basic enter, save and annotate functions - but if you're serious about chess then a chess database management program is what you need! You will find the most extensive line of chess database management software at ChessCentral.
