Emne: 4000 Game Database

One of the projects I will be working on with Fencer is the creation of a pgn database of all games of Gothic Chess played here on BrainKing. These game will be tied into a database engine bundled with the version of Gothic Vortex coming out in December.

As you move on the Gothic Chess board from within votrex, a scrolling list of ALL PLAYERS who have been in the same position will automatically appear below the board. You can either continue playing on the Gothic Board just to view who else has done the moves, or you can click on a game, and automatically pick up where they left off.

As you move back and forth in their game, again, the list would conitnue to build below the board, showing everyone who has ever been in the same position. You can go from game-to-game-to game forever and always see who has done what.

I am offering players the opporunity to have their names appear in the database window as other than their BK handles, if they want.

Let me know via email at GothicChessInfo@aol.com if this interests you.
