What is a DB Book?
A DB Book is a file with games (no
annotations!) that are in chess books, published in Italy or in
the World.
The files are available in ChessBase format (.cbv) and in .pgn format.
How to use them?
The main idea is to have the games on the screen, without put them on the board, in order
to study them faster and better!
Please note that the games are without annotations: so you should have the book.
