The database path for ChessBase is the place where it will automatically install or create new databases. Also your games played on the chess server playchess.com are store here.

 

Path

 

The default database directory is My Documents\ChessBase. This is consistent with the Windows standard and should not be changed.

This is where your Mega Database and all other large databases will be installed.
