Classifiers – Organize Your Chess Data
| A database of chess games is a rather unwieldy collection of data. Of course you can sort the games, search etc. but all of this is temporary.The next time you open the database you will see the same list of games without any useful structure. If you want to repeat a search, you have to enter all the search criteria from scratch and then search again. |
Classifiers allow you to organize your chess data into nested folders in a similar way as you organize your hard disk into folders. Each folder in a classifier can contain:
- Icon. The icon serves as a reminder for the data contained in the folder.
- Text. A text description of the folder.
- Position. This could for instance be a critical position from an opening.
- Any search criteria, which allows games to be automatically classified with just a mouse click. This is of course a very powerful feature. An example is a classifier for endgames (pawn endgames, rook endgames etc.). Whenever you update your database, all you need to do is refresh the search in order to classify the endgames that occur in the new games.
- A list of games. Games can be included in the list either manually or automatically based on a search criteria.
- Chess tree. You can store chess trees in a classifier folder. This could for instance be detailed analysis results for an opening variation, while only the most important variations are shown in a game annotation.
- Another classifier, allowing practically unlimited flexibility in the structure of classifiers.
- Multimedia information: images, audio and video.
Chess Trees – State of the Art
Chess Assistant offers state of the art chess trees:

Game Annotations and Global Annotations
Chess Assistant supports all types of game annotations, from simple text to multimedia content:
|
As useful as game annotations are, they have one drawback: They are tied to a particular game. When you run into the same position in a different game, how would you like to get a reminder saying: Hey, you have annotated this position before!” Well, in Chess Assistant you can annotate trees and tree annotations are “global”, meaning that they are displayed whenever the same position arises – in all databases.
Lomonosov Tablebases
Lomonosov Tablebases allow you to determine if any position with 7 or less pieces leads to a draw or can be won by either side – with 100% certainty.
If the game can be won, the path with the least number of moves until the end of this variation is shown, given that both players make the best moves possible. If the losing player makes a suboptimal move, he will lose sooner and the program will show the new optimal path.
Playing Features
If you want to play a game of chess against the computer, Chess Assistant offers a variety of engines and options:
- Wide selection of time controls and other playing options
