'''Bookup''',<br/>
a chess opening database by [[Mike Leahy]] which keeps [[Chess Game|games]], that is their [[Moves|moves]] along with optional annotations inside a tree structure.
Since nodes in this tree are indexed by a kind of [[Zobrist Hashing|Zobrist key]] of a [[Chess Position|position]],
Bookup is able to immediately recognize [[Transposition|transpositions]], and is suited to learn and train [[Opening|openings]] and to investigate, analyze and expand [[Opening Book|opening books]].
Bookup was developed since the 80s, initially under [[MS-DOS]], and was further developed and ported to [[Macintosh]] and [[x86]] PCs running [[Mac OS]] and [[Windows]] with a modern [[GUI]] called [[Chess Opening Wizard]] (COW) <ref>[https://www.bookup.com/ Bookup.com - Chess Opening Software]</ref>.
While early Bookup was bundled with [[Zarkov]] as analysis engine, COW includes [[Stockfish]], [[Crafty]] and [[Ruffian]],
and further supports any [[Chess Engine Communication Protocol]] (WinBoard) and [[UCI]] compatible engine <ref>[https://www.bookup.com/home/faq/ FAQ | Bookup.com]</ref> for analysis and looking for contradictions between game statistics and current chess theory, dubbed backsolving <ref>[https://www.bookup.com/home/backsolving/ Backsolving | Bookup.com]</ref>.
