I was thinking, instead of the pencil&paper file-folder method, of using some programming to impliment it, maybe with an ASCII graphics display showing the board and game tree: at critical move x connect an example game branch with corresponding analytic score and current state displayed.

Also, for those who have considered this before, is this a feasible program to construct using basic object oriented programming (the limit of my abilities)?

Chessmaster 10th Edition has a wonderful open book section, allowing you to study a _TON_ of openings, some with comments. You can even quiz your self and add your openings/variations. That's the way I would go, if you are looking to expand your opening arsenal. ——— The checkmate club — The University of Maryland, Baltimore County may not be the football and basketball powerhouse that its much larger sibling at College Park is, but when it comes to fielding world-class chess contenders, watch out. Its players' victory in the Final Four over three Texas teams at the national college chess championships in Brownsville over the weekend — the sixth chess championship the school has brought home during the last 10 years — is about as good as it gets. The team itself embodies in microcosm the ethic of excellence that UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski III has tirelessly promoted for the entire school and its programs during the last ...
