I played a bit around with the layout settings ( especially
the fonts and colors) from the ChessPartner GUI and created two
layouts myself.
These where designed with a screen resolution of 1280*1024.
To use them, put the *.lay file in C:\Program Files\Lokasoft\ChessPartner5.3\Layouts.
(note: the zip does NOT contain the chessbase fonts)
unpack the *.sinf files to C:\Program Files\Lokasoft\ChessPartner5.3\Bitmaps
Books
I generated some books from these pgn collections:
Olivier Deville: selected GM games (updated 21 may 2007)
These books are generated from my blunder-checked pgn. Here you can find the pgn file CHESSWAR GM2001mv12
Unpacked under 4Mb .Depth is 12 moves. GM2001mv18
Unpacked about 9 Mb.
As above but depth is limited to 18 moves.
