TascBase 2.1 is a combined database and chess playing program (The King). It is a 32-bit DOS design (DOS4GW). It is both a tree and key database. It combines the keys with the chess tree in a way which is unique among databases. Keys are easily created from the actual position. Later, when games are imported, they are immediately placed under the relevant key. When you look at a particular position key, you can immediately retrieve the games which are placed under it. No game search is necessary, although game search, position search, and material search, etc., are also possible. TascBase has an interface to endgame databases (delivered with the program) and also interfaces Tasc SmartBoard. PGN, ChessBase (Cbf), NIC, and TascBase game formats can be imported and exported. If you want to import commented PGN you need to use the tool Pgntool.exe. TascBase has functions for chess editorship, that is, chess fonts, etc. TascBase is no longer being developed but the product is still (Jan 2007) being sold. This software is highly recommended considering the efficiency and speed with which one can work with openings and create opening theory. TascBase 2.1 and its internal chess playing program, The King, can also handle Fischer Random Chess (i.e. its castling rules, randomization, storing of games, etc.).
