Anybody use Chessbase 8?
 

I've got quite a few of the lessons for it and was wondering if anyone else knows of any lessons worth their salt.

I've been going through "World Champion Michail Tal" and seeing some amazing games.

One of the profs at my Uni just got it, I will see what he says about it.

So do you play chess?

Is this a chess game with AI and everything or just training and tutorials and stuff? I've played chess before but recently I have been more interested in it. How much does it cost?

Yeah this is everything you mentioned and more.

You can play a game of chess on it against a chess engine OR you can follow old games with comments and notation.


If you get a subscription (I have one) then every couple of months you get a CD-ROM filled with games, tactics and opinions.

This program is like owning an encyclopedia on Chess but you can have various other training tools other than just looking at old games.

Chessbase is a huge program and it's hard to talk about every aspect.

I would recommend some of the tactics training programs if you get it -like "Killer Moves" and "The ABC's of Endgames".

I dumped a lot of money into this and probably spent over 2 grand on everything.

I bought everything from the US chess base website located here:
