This program has a number of functions that come from the chess database program ChessBase, which is the standard tool of top players all over the world. Our chess playing programs are perfect for amateurs who want to look after their own games and browse around in the games of the masters. But if you decide to start working seriously with very large databases you should consider acquiring ChessBase.

NEW IN CHESSBASE 13:

 

The ChessBase Cloud***: you are now able to make use of your databases from any computer and later also from any mobile device. Set up your own repertoire and your own games in private space in our cloud

 

Optimise the performance of your engines with analysis tasks. First of all define which positions are to be analysed one after the other. Like this your engine will over a long period of time assemble independently and store for you in-depth analyses.

 

The improved repertoire function distinguishes between the repertoire for White and Black.

 

Ergonomic operation: Easier analysis and annotation by a new series of buttons. More efficient input of variations during analysis, new variations accepted without a request for confirmation. And much more.
