I want to explore a database of 1000 games, as I play through them. Usually when we have an opening book installed, it displays which move has a higher frequency in use, and which has a lower frequency. It would be nice if I could explore the game database (which I have just downloaded) this way. Is there any method for this? if not, is there any way we could convert the .png (database) file to .abk file?

We have 100% free online ABK tools and apps that does not required any registrations and installations on your system, here are few popular free ABK tools to View, Convert, Edit, Merge, Split, Compare and manage file metadata online from any device with a modern browser like Chrome, Opera and Firefox.
If you want to open a .abk file on your computer, you just need to have the appropriate program installed. If the .abk association isn't set correctly, you may receive the following error message:
Windows can't open this file:
File: example.abk
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs that are installed on your computer.
ABK file extension is used by various programs. AbK file typically stores backup copy of a project or document currently being edited. Such solution prevents data loss due to file corruption, accidental deletion, power loss, virus infection, etc.
If you cannot open the ABK file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports ABK among those that are installed on your device.
The inability to open and operate the ABK file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Ability Write Backup Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the ABK file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the ABK file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the ABK file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.ABK) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected ABK file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the ABK file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. ABK) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
The file formats in which tracker music is stored are commonly known as module files. However, there are several different file extensions for such modules. The files contain information about the instrument samples used, as well as a sequence list which tells the player when to play which note, tone, or effect.
If you're looking to find out how to open the ABK file extension, you've come to the right place. In most cases, Windows will open a file in the associated program, but some files fall outside of those parameters. Keep reading to find out how you can open your ABK file on both Windows and Mac.
You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a ABK file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!
Need for Speed: Underground Audio File, AMOS Basic Data, and Any Automatic Backup are the most popular software packages that use ABK files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download one of these software packages and use one of them to open your file.
Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.
If you can't download Need for Speed: Underground Audio File, AMOS Basic Data, or Any Automatic Backup software, or if they don't work to open your ABK file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".
Most likely, you will find that ABK files are considered Game Files. Because many programs packages utilize Game Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
Although some files must be opened in binary file format (ie. in the program or device for which it was developed), you might be able to open it with a universal software viewer. Depending on the exact file format, you could use a universal software viewer such as File Magic [download] to open your ABK file. Download File Magic today to open your ABK files and hundreds of other file types with one program.
An "AMOS BASIC Konverter" format has been claimed to exist, with a .ambk extension, but there is little evidence of this, so it may be a garbled reference to the AMOS Music Bank format with its .abk extension (AmBk does appear as an ASCII identifier within AMOS Memory Bank files), and may just refer to such files as created by the Konverter software (References: [1] [2] [3]) -- this seems to be different software from the "Konvertor" software referred to below, but is hard to find an actual runnable copy of.
One of the programs I wanted to use in Arena was TheKing from Chessmaster, but you can't just copy the file TheKing.exe into Arena due to its copy protection. I found out online how extract the security code ("OPK") using log files created by theCraftychess engine, but doing this manually each time I wanted to use TheKing was too much work. So I wrote this program to automate it.
In January 2016 I finally managed to test it with the Grandmaster Edition (Chessmaster 11) and made a fewsmall changes to my program and the instructions.
The download contains the program, source code and GPL license. You should look at the README.TXT fileas it provides all the information you need to amend the CM_opk.ini file for your PC. Of course, you alsoneed a (licensed!) copy of Chessmaster.
The opening book editor in Chessmaster is very good but it only saves files in its own OBK format. These programs allow you to convert opening book files between Chessmaster OBK, Arena ABK and Polyglot BIN formats for use in other programs. During the conversion you can also output PGN and TXT versions of the files.
Note that converting from Polyglot files, which contain records for each position, to any of the other formats,which contain lists of moves, will always be difficult and is unlikely to be successful on large files.
My first drivers were Winboard and UCI engines for my board, a Novag UCB. I used these in Arena,CB-Emu(which can use Arena) and Chessmaster and they worked well, but I soon found the problems with controlling a board using an engine. For example, GUIs don't allow engines to take back moves,you can't play "rated" games in engine vs. engine matches and so on. The open source program LucasChessand Arena supported DGT boards by using the file DGTEBDLL.dll in DGT's Rabbit Plugin so I realisedthat if I could convert my engines into this file I would be able to control my UCB board directly.DGT published the details of their API for this library and they kindly gave me permission toduplicate it in my own program. In April 2017 I completed a working driver and used it happily in Arena and LucasChess for a few years.
Then in early 2020 I saw thatLars Nowakhad written UCI engines for Certabo and Millennium boards. I thought it shouldn't be too hard to convertthese to DLL files too so contacted Lars, who sent me the technical information for the boards. Thecommunication protocols turned out to be more complicated than the Novag, but also the boards had no built inchess knowledge so I had to add move validation and take back procedures that weren't required for the UCB.He helped me test my Millennium version as I didn't have a board, but was unable to test the Certabo one.So I contacted Pietro at Certabo who was extremely helpful in getting my driver to work.
It took me a long time to get my drivers to work in Fritzand I finally succeeded in June 2022. They need to be 64 bit and that is why they are different files to the other drivers which are all 32 bit. This means they will only run in Fritz versions 15 and above and ChessBase 13 and above (although I think 12 also had an option for 64 bit).
I was asked about writing a driver for the Saitek boards that use OSA (the Leonardo, Galileo and Renaissance boards)and found Achim Pietig had written a program calledOSA for Arena.I contacted him and he was very helpful in providing documentation and help. Both Achim and Lars Nowak spent a lot of timetesting my driver - since I don't have a Saitek board this wouldn't have been possible without them. You will need an OSACable to use your board with the computer, although I believe it is possible to make your own - see the ReadMe file belowfor details.
