The starting screen of the program allows to access directly with a click on your mouse any one of the different ways of using it which are on offer.
The complex program distinguishes strictly between play and analysis functions. Thus the program places the relevant functions in the appropriate menu bar and these allow the user to concentrate on the work he or she wishes to do.
The heading “Easy game” makes it possible for you to play a game against a Fritz which is suited to your playing strength.
Choosing “Enter & Analyse” takes you directly to the analysis modes of the program. Generally speaking, the easy to understand structure of the starting screen helps you to get directly to the way in which you wish to use the program, e.g. the chess server.

Classic Menu provides you with the view to which you are accustomed from previous versions.
Access to the Web Apps is also possible directly from the starting screen.
Please note that you sign on permanently to make use of the online function!
Login
Many of the web based functions of the program require you to have a registered ChessBase Account. You can register for such a ChessBase Account with the serial number of the program or you can use the latter to extend the validity of an existing account. So that the user does not constantly have to enter login data, the program offers the option of a permanent login for the use of the web-based services. One typical example would be the use of the chess server.
This launches the following login dialog.
“Create new player name” allows new users to create a new player name.
The status of your ChessBase Account is also displayed in the upper part of the screen.
With a click on your player name you can directly change the settings on your account. “Remember password” makes it easier whenever you restart the program, since you will not have to enter your access data on each occasion.
After logging on, you can simply try out whether the login has worked. Clicking on “Playchess.com” in the bottom left of the screen starts access to the chess server with your user name.
So, unlike in previous versions of the program, there is no need for you to input your access data afresh because the login now follows on “centrally”.
After logging on, you can simply try out whether the login has worked. Clicking on “Playchess.com” starts access to the chess server with your user name.
This principle is repeated in those windows which require a login to a server.
From the starting screen these are specifically:
1. Chess server: login follows automatically. You can get going straight away. Here the starting screen is different according to particularly popular usages and playing modes.
“Follow live games”, for example, allows you direct access to the most important grandmaster games currently being broadcast!
2. Access to the available WebApps. Here too login is done automatically by clicking on the desired App.
Information about the ChessBase Account
In order to use our Web Apps it is absolutely necessary to have a ChessBase Acount.
So every user who would like to make use of this service must set up a ChessBase Account. With your program you receive premium access.
Compared to our PC programs the Web Apps have the great advantage that these applications can be used independent of your computer’s operating system, no matter whether it is a computer with Linux, a MAC or a mobile device (smartphones, tablets). Any functioning internet access and a browser are all it takes for you to be able to make use of the various programs. Like that you can be doing effective chess training at any time when you are away from home. Play chess against other people or against a chess program, follow live chess, save your own chess data and openings, work on games, analyse, etc. You can carry out all these functions at any time and from any location with a ChessBase Account!
