As you probably know, FIDE has announced that it was abandoning its efforts to make chess an Olympic discipline – after IOC President Jacques Rogge issued a statement saying: “It is played where? In dark unventilated rooms by people sitting motionless in chairs for hours, staring at a board and swigging alcohol? You gotta be kidding, right?” At the same time FIDE agreed that as a consequence of this decision it will in future be unnecessary to "hound players with 'doping tests', which have in the past threatened the careers of some of the world’s top players.”

ChessBase has warmly greeted this decision by FIDE, calling it “a correct and positive step in the right direction, one that relieves our royal game of the fetters of unnecessary administrative regulation. Players are now free to develop their full potential, using all available training methods and learning techniques that modern science has placed at our disposal.”

At the same time our marketing and products department has announced a new range of chess training supplements that can be ordered immediately or pre-ordered in cases where import regulation have caused a few unfortunate delays.

Kramnik Formula users gain deeper positional and endgame understanding as well as a deeper voice and, in many cases, a few inches of height.


Note: the Kramnik Formula is produced from DNA extracted in 1993!

The Young Kasparov Formula (produced from samples taken in 1981!) will push you towards the top of the Elo list, which more than makes up for the bushy black hair that has been reported as a side effect (or as some test candidates called it: “bonus features”!).
