Top-level chess games are not decided solely at the board – preparation plays a decisive role. Those who possess better data, more powerful analytical tools and more stable infrastructure give their players a significant advantage. This is precisely where the ChessBase "Federation Package" comes into play: a comprehensive solution developed specifically for national chess federations, combining professional software, powerful cloud analysis and maximum flexibility.
Package contents
At the centre is a complete professional working environment: ChessBase 26 as the world’s leading database software, the Mega Database with more than 11.8 million games, the Opening Encyclopaedia with all the latest theoretical developments, and a Premium account providing access to online databases and cloud engines. This is complemented by regular updates and the ChessBase Magazine - a continuous source of recent games, analyses and training material. Players and coaches can therefore work at exactly the same level as international elite players.

Computing power
The decisive advantage, however, lies in computing power. As a national federation, this offer gives you access to powerful 64-core analysis machines at a price of only 1 euro (or 10 ducats) per hour – a special rate that provides up to five times more computing power for the same budget than a standard Premium membership. In practical terms, this means significantly deeper analysis, more precise preparation and greater training opportunities, without the need to purchase or maintain your own hardware.
Targeted support
At the same time, you retain full control. The included computing quotas can be distributed flexibly – for example, specifically to national team players preparing for important tournaments, to young talents for long-term development, or to coaches for analysis and preparation of training programmes. Each player can use the available analysis power according to their individual needs, while the federation maintains overall strategic control and can also support players who join later using ducats that have not yet been allocated.
Availability when it matters
Another crucial factor is guaranteed availability. In the lead-up to major events such as Olympiads or international championships, the demand for analytical power increases considerably. With this offer, the required computing capacity is reliably available at all times – without queues, without bottlenecks and without additional organisational effort.

Computing power for teams: the engine selection can be made here. Access is not provided through the familiar list of third-party cloud engines, but via the new ChessBase server portal shown here. In ChessBase´26, the ChessBase remote engines can be accessed via the "Add Kibitzer" button.
Efficiency meets cost savings
From a financial perspective, the package also offers exceptionally high efficiency. In addition to the considerable savings on computing power, all players receive a complete professional software setup that would cost many times more if purchased individually. The available budget is therefore used optimally and has a lasting impact on the overall strength and performance of the federation.
Sustainable benefits for all
The benefits are clear and long-lasting: players gain improved training and preparation opportunities, coaches receive powerful tools, and your federation systematically strengthens its international competitiveness. At the same time, youth development is directly supported, as modern analytical tools can be made available to young players at an early stage.
Efficiency
The result is a clear competitive advantage: better preparation, more efficient use of resources and the sustainable strengthening of the entire national chess system.
Note:
This ChessBase offer is intended exclusively for national chess federations. The cooperation programme was specifically developed to support structural and sporting development at federation level and to provide players with access to professional resources that would otherwise often be available only to individual players with significantly larger budgets. Federations interested in a cooperation agreement can contact ChessBase directly by email.
