The exclusive annotated database. Contains more than 6.1 millions games from 1560 to 2014 in the highest ChessBase quality standard.

Index of commentators: World Champion Magnus Carlsen annotated 24 games,
as did Anish Giri and Nigel Short. Levon Aronian annotated two less - 22 games.

68,000 games contain commentary from top players, with ChessBase opening classification with more than 100,000 key positions, direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames.

Tournament index, allowing you to find top and historical tournaments easily

The largest topclass annotated database in the world. The most recent games of the database are from the middle of November 2014. Mega 2015 also features a new edition of the playerbase (requires ChessBase 12 or 13!). As usual, this is where most of the work was done. As the player index now contains already more than 293,000 entries, it made sense to use an adapted playerbase which includes about 365,000 names. Doing this, the photo database was extended as well to contain 35,000 pictures now.

Incl. Online Mega-Update 2015: With ChessBase 12 or 13 you can download games for Mega 2015 for the whole year, a total of approximately 200,000! That means your Mega 2015 will remain up to date from January to December.
