Chess Databases on CD and DVD

ChessCentral is pleased to offer chess software databases on CD and DVD for chess opening, middlegame and endgame study. Employing the latest in chess technology, these chess databases vastly increase the amount of information at your fingertips. Not raw data either - even "simple" unannotated chess game collections like the Dutch Defense or even the ChessBase Big Database come with many extra features. Other titles are really chess books on disk (cross-referenced in the Chess Training Software section), but also feature a large collection of games, such as the Ultimate Tarrasch Defense and the Complete King's Gambit CDs. In addition, you will find chess databases designed mainly to enhance chess playing engine performance, like the Fritz Powerbook. This category has the chess database software you've been looking for!
