There are two ways of studying an opening: by looking through encyclopedic tables for chosen openings or variations and by moving along a Chess Tree displaying expert evaluations of a current position.
Openings material is based upon
- 500 000 of expert evaluations, which were verified and corrected by Rybka
- 8 000 annotations to key moves
- 40 million of evaluations by Rybka engine
- Database of 4,350,000 games as of April 1, 2011.
A Rybka 2.3 program is integrated into the Encyclopedia with a possibility of simple connection to Rybka 4 or other UCI and Winboard engines. A powerful system of search according to player’ name, position, positional element, motif and material correlation is supported.
