The ChessBase Replayer

Is chess more popular than ever? People who have never played chess before want to learn the rules and maybe even move a step further. To get better in chess it helps to actively participate in a game instead of just following it. Every chess player knows how important it is to replay and to analyse games.

Our ChessBase Replayer is the perfect tool for that. It allows you to replay and analyse games, puzzles and positions from ChessBase articles online.

Check out the video below to see how it works:

The video is not even seven minutes long

This is a list of key features for an even better experience:

  • ESC: stops automatic playback or, if in full screen mode, exits full screen mode
  • LEFT: move back
  • RIGHT : Execute move
  • UP: Move variation upwards (ALT) 
  • DEL or DELETE: Remove variant
  • [ : Delete previous variation
  • ]: Delete the rest of the variation
  • CTRL-Z : Undo
  • CTRL-SHIFT-Y: Undo annotation
  • CTRL-Y: Redo
  • ALT-F2: Toggle analysis
  • F11: Load next game, with CTRL or Shift: Load previous game
