Fuseki and Joseki Database/Subbases part
Fuseki/Joseki Database has a complex graph structure
which could be compared with the jungle (not with a tree) because of
large amiount of branch (variations of fuseki/joseki) intersections.
That is why the number of variations in the Fuseki/Joseki Databases
much much more then the number of the games at the Games Database. Full game statistics for each fuseki/joseki move. You
could see game result statistics by different categories of players
(pro+semipro, strong ama players, other and total). Two different statistics for fuseki/joseki moves:
Statistics by variation. If selected position can
be reached in different ways, the program shows game statistics
for the current variation and for the position (b) in total. Statistics by position.
The rank of strongest player who made the current (and
previous) move is displayes ( i.e. last black and white moves). Each fuseki/joseki variation ends with an unique game. -
Fuseki/Joseki Databases are also searching indexes to find lists of games
for a specific opening (full board, half board and corner positions).You
can get a list of the games for each fuseki/joseki position.
-
Search for a specific position. The user defines a part (single or multiple)
of the board for searching games from any fuseki and joseki window.
Letters for next fuseki/joseki move are sorted by the
winning percentage and could be colored by the players category (pro,
semipro, amateur).
