Body: <p>I've downloaded the database from <a href="http://www.icofy-blog.de/icofy-base/" rel="nofollow">ICOfY</a> in PGN format.
  Are there any free Linux-based programs that would allow one to browse through it? I mean exploring the game moves tree while displaying position on the board and links to next move alongside statistics?</p>

  Are there any free Linux-based programs that would allow one to browse through it? I mean exploring the game moves tree while displaying position on the board and links to next move alongside statistics?

  [Scid vs. PC](http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/) can do all of the above. It will take a while to load since ICOfY Base is rather large (upward of 4 mil games, I believe). Your best bet is probably to convert the PGN file to Scid format using the `pgnscid` command-line utility included with Scid vs. PC. That's what I've done in the past, but if I'm not mistaken, ICOfY Base is now available for download in Scid format.
