Fast Reference Search, Fashion and Endgame Index You learn a lot more when you are forced to think a bit about every move. It lets you grasp the inner logic of a game much better than if you would just replay the moves passively. This is a highly enjoyable training experience. While you are guessing the moves the program is rating your answers, with a point and grading system. Sometimes, if the move involves pure tactics, you do not get a hint but must work it out all by yourself. Guessing the right moves in a grandmaster game sounds challenging, but ChessBase 15 will give you hints, at just the right level to point you in the right direction. After that, you will be asked to guess the next move in key positions. You can load a contemporary or historical game, click the "Training" tab and choose a side. It is the machine that does all the work.ĬhessBase 15 introduces a new and completely different approach to replaying games. This is comfortable but dangerous because it can lead to cognitive passivity. You can fire up an engine to evaluate the position. Since the very beginning of computers, replaying games has always been the same: you press a key and a piece moves on the board. What is the principal application of chess software? Replaying games.
If you don’t want to look, the salient points are. You can read the official publicity for ChessBase 15 elsewhere so there is little point in repeating it all here. Nobody likes a long report, so this will be brief but I hope informative. I usually review mainly books but I want to say a few words about CB 15. It is a very fair representation of the product. I don’t think that anyone could argue with that. It has just released Version 15 of the ChessBase program.ĬhessBase was always sold as a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the international standard for top players, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. Today the company, located in Hamburg, Germany, has 30 full-time employees and is the world market leader in its field.
Lest we should ever forget, ChessBase was founded just over 30 years ago, at the instigation of World Champion Garry Kasparov, who talked his friends Frederic Friedel and Matthias Wüllenweber into publishing the database program that the latter had written.
