Over 1,100 special theoretical databases, 180 new opening surveys, a large number revised — in total 6,680 surveys — and over 38,000 illustrative games.
Let IM Sagar Shah give you a tour through the new Opening Encyclopaedia. You'll learn how to navigate and use the new OE in your opening training.
You can still navigate by ECO code, but also with a more natural category-based navigation system. Sagar chooses the Semi-Open Games and prepares for an opponent who plays the Grünfeld Defence. GMs Michael Krasenkow and Boris Avrukh can be your guide.
You can jump between articles and annotated games in your ChessBase interface, learn how various opening lines are interrelated and gain new insights for your repertoire.
Or, what if you want to play something new and surprising against 3.♗b5 in the Sicilian Defence. Go to the Sicilian → Rossolimo variation and learn about the offbeat 3...♞a5!? GM Leonid Kritz says, "why not"?
Also new is the videos section with nearly five hours of opening theory from popular ChessBase authors.
