How to coach with ChessBase - Dorian Rogozenco: Master Your Chess with ChessBase Tools

by ChessBase
11/8/2025 – GM Dorian Rogozenco explains how coaches can use ChessBase to analyse and improve both their students’ and their own games. By creating a database of a player’s games and generating a Style Report, one can quickly identify strengths and weaknesses—such as low aggressiveness or strong theoretical play. Using the search mask in the Mega Database, coaches can then find instructive games that target specific themes (like king attacks or positional play) and build customized training material. Rogozenco emphasizes combining personal experience with ChessBase’s tools to create effective, theme-based lessons that develop a player’s strategic understanding and practical skill.
