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.
Our news page produced 25 big illustrated reports on the FIDE World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk, generating millions (literally) of page views and links in Google news and other portals. "I want to express my admiration for the professional and creative work of ChessBase," wrote the Press Officer of the event. "Your brilliant reports helped the entire chess world enjoy the events in Khanty-Mansiysk during this tournament." Not at all, Nick. The organisers of the World Cup went to extraordinary lengths to provide us with any assistance we needed. For this we thank you and look forward to a similar cooperation in future events.
Press officer in Khanty-Mansiysk: Nikita Kim
"Every time when I come to Khanty-Mansiysk I feel amazement and admiration," said Nikita. "From a simple provincial town the capital of Ugra has been transformed into a wonderful metropolitan city and thanks to its comfort and beauty it can even be compared to the biggest European cities."
