I might have misunderstood this, but I thought that when I click the red link playable eBooks, I can download the new-style eBooks. Some of these are pretty old, e.g. under 1.e4 e5 or French. The Sicilian has three, but one (Yugoslav attack) is from 2006. Or are some of these "old-style" eBooks?

Aha, that's the key. I didn't check the tournament field, thanks!

Yes, the playable ebooks are great. It is just that some of them are not updated that recently. But maybe neither are the PGN-files?

I have started to finally take a look at what I've paid for. I.e. not just the new updates, but also the old ones and of course the guides.

However, I find it really hard to browse the guides in a good order, e.g. to read everything like in the PDF-files or in the update-files. Maybe I am not doing it correctly. I have downloaded the CBV-files a-e (until 2010, from the Gold plus section) and then all the rest as per this thread. This gives me all the games, but just in alphabetical order as default, and when I try to sort, I can't find a good way to get everything in an order that just shows the guides.

Thus, my question is, what is the best way for me to get all the updates and games and to be able to read everything without having to sift through all games. I guess I could say I basically would like to use the guides as an opening book to first get an overview of a specific opening (just like the , and after that use the commented games to delve deeper into the specific lines without being hindered by the games in the initial phase.

Do I have to download just the guides and games separately, respectively, in PGN format instead and then flip between these?

'Added since', then?

OK, I've changed "(dd-mm-yyyy)" to Quote:


However, I'm not sure that Quote:
as it implies one specific date, one update. But I'm open to better ideas?!

There is a download of all the games up till the end of 2010 in the Gold Plus section, but to get the 2011 games you have to go to the PGN Archive. To download all the games since a certain date just use the 'UPDATED SINCE' box and enter the date you last downloaded.
