In 1987 the first edition with floppy disk came out, just one year after ChessBase was founded. What began as an interesting idea took off so quickly that it was practically impossible to imagine life without it. A huge amount of games on the computer and absolutely up-to-date for my database? "Yes, I would like that, please!". Technically-minded chess players thought that this would suit their newly bought computers perfectly.
