    7. Wow - this is one cool blog. Though I myself prefer FreeSoftware. Why not include some links for SCID [Shane's Chess Information Database]?

      go here..

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane%27s_Chess_Information_Database

      and, here..

      http://scid.sourceforge.net/

      If you have Ubuntu, simply install it out of the sources..

      sudo apt-get install scid

      [latest version: 4.6.4]
