IBGS project is an Internet board game server.

IBGS is a game server for board games such as chess, go, checkers, and nine nens morris.

Data about players and games are stored in an SQL database. The FICS protocol is supported. The IBGS Client is part of this project.

You can store your games in a IBGS server. When you analyse a game the server shows you statistical information about the current position.

But first you have to fill the db with games. There easiest way is to convert some pgn files. This can be done by the tool pgn2db.

Then log into the server an type "examine". You can now analyse your game.
