ChessBase 10 Package Comparison Chart
ChessBase is the personal chess database manager which has become standard equipment for chess players throughout the world. It is the program of choice for all those who love chess and who also hope to play successfully in the future.
With ChessBase 10 we enter a new era of chess database technology. Using this new version, you find that waiting for search results is a thing of the past - along with any worries about your database being up to date and complete. Instead of that, you quickly discover that the whole chess cosmos is at your fingertips: over four million games from the start of chess history right up to the top international tournament played just a few weeks ago. Whatever you would like to know, it's all there and only the press of a button away.
Online or offline, it doesn’t matter: with ChessBase 10 you are in the heart of things right away, because your games database automatically remains up to date. The online database, which has been totally restructured, shows you at a glance all the games of a specific player or the 1,000 most recent games involving any specific board position. The online database retrieves the required information in less than a second (on DSL). Even the super-functions such as opening reference, opening report and dossier come up with the results at lightning speed. And the large reference database on your hard disk is regularly and automatically kept completely up to date. Note that the reference database is kept up to date until the end of 2010 only in the Starter, Mega and Premium packages, not in program upgrades.
ChessBase 10 openings reference
Further innovations in ChessBase 10: If you wish, ChessBase will show you only the top level games from a particular position, meaning you can get to the key games without hesitation. The extended opening reference lists frequently played variations, meaning that the theory can be grasped much more quickly than simply with individual moves. This improvement also helps the player dossier. The evaluation also lists your opponent’s opening repertoire at the same time. When kibitzing on the chess server (on one game or many), the online database can be called up with a single click. So with live broadcasts, you always have a complete overview of the opening.
Openings books provide, should you wish it, the replies to every move and thus give you a deeper insight into the position. For correspondence players, ChessBase 10 offers a direct link to the ICCF server. In addition, extended engine functions, improved window management, new features on the Playchess.com server, and much, much more.
