ChessBase is a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the standard throughout the world. Everyone uses ChessBase, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it.
You are playing a chess tournament soon. All your rivals and friends (and foes, of course) are competing in this event. You need to prepare if you want to beat them or fight for a good prize. You could start your opening database, but the huge amount of chess variations bores you. It is just too much for you. You need a simpler way to understand everything and win games.
If you are a chess coach, you will face a similar problem for your student. It is almost like being a parent. After all, when you are a chess coach, you are a part of your student. A key to the child's hidden talent.
Old examples are becoming outdated. Positional chess theory, opening theory, and even endgame theory has advanced so much that examples from the past are simply not powerful enough. You will need training material for improving your chess that is modern and fresh, right? What if you get the world's best players to teach you chess – for just €19.95?
The ChessBase magazine 174 is here! Price: €19.95 – as much as a modest restaurant meal
