10/31/2023 – Zachary Saine is thechessnerd, a 22-year-old content creator and Twitch streamer. The Canadian is a student at Amsterdam University and is playing in as many European chess tournaments as he can. Zach, as he likes to be called, has chalked up 138 million views on YouTube. Recently we sent him a copy of ChessBase 17 and Mega Database 2023, and he used it to prepare for a game against a higher-rated opponent. The software provided him with radar vision. Here is Zach's video description of how the game went.
