Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
We are proud to announce the new ChessBase Shop, which has been in development for some time and has now been opened to the public. The new Shop is more than just a facelift, and brings a number of improvements to help you not only find what you want, but also bring modern advantages to you. To celebrate this opening, we are also offering one month of Premium subscription to Playchess with any purchase made today. This means you’ll enjoy the unlimited multimedia experience (lectures, simuls, and more), and this will extend through the upcoming London Chess Classic, so you can enjoy the multimedia grandmaster commentary we will also be providing free to Premium subscribers!

For example, if you were to scroll down to the letter K, and then choose ... Kasimdzhanov (we just know that was the first name starting with K that came to your mind, right?), a page opens up with the player’s picture, a summary of who they are, and a list of their products.
