It is of vital importance, not just to own the program, ChessBase 16 – you must actually know how to use it proficiently. To help you in this respect we have asked an internationally well-known trainer, IM Sagar Shah, to show you how the powerful "Novelties" feature works. All you need to do is sit back and pay attention. And afterwards start using this function to improve your tournament results. Remember – in all likelihood your opponent will be doing the same!

Learn from the Classics

Sagar Shah shows you on this DVD how you can use typical patterns used by the Master of the past in your own games. From opening play to middlegame themes.

This video is twelve minutes long and well worth the time you spend watching it.

It is not just finding novelties and interesting ideas that will prove immensely useful. You should also get acquainted with "Replay training" (3min 35s into the above video). This is an ideal new way to actually practice new openings. ChessBase 16 will guide you through games and keep track of your performance, giving you points for accurate play – and explaining moves you overlooked.

Watch the IM not just showing you this new feature, but also getting involved and learning himself in the process. You can do the same with ChessBase 16.

If you do not already have the program you can order it in the ChessBase Shop. Using the download option you could have the program in just a few hours!
