ChessBase is a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the standard throughout the world. Everyone uses ChessBase, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it.
The FIDE Grand Prix, organized by World Chess, is a 3-event series that features 24 players, each of whom will compete in two out of three tournaments.
Each 16-player event will consist of a group stage followed by a knockout semifinal and final. At the group stage, the participants will compete in four double round-robin tournaments, with only the winners of each pool advancing. Both semifinals and the final will consist of 2 classical games, plus tiebreaks if needed.
