ChessBase Database Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Local newspaper: white to play and win :)

  I did also chess database.chessbase.com for their encounter and did not see it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is ChessBase really that necessary?

  Second, if you're only after the games, without any of the DB-features, they're available for free at https://database.chessbase.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Would love some honest feedback. Harsh criticism welcomed. Chessmen series.

  Also a minor note: the chess pieces are often in between squares and judging by their positions, none of these are real games. If you want to copy real games, there's an online DB https://database.chessbase.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Computer chess software help

  Lichess, or otherwise there are opensource algorithms/databases I use this one but there are many other ones. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there a database explorer on lichess?

  Something like https://database.chessbase.com/ was what I was trying to get at - although I don't think you can explore by position/material on that - only on their offline version of chessbase :/. Source: over 2 years ago

• A breakdown of chess.com paid features, and what free alternatives exist AFAIK

  I mean you can just go to database.chessbase.com which has every feature you can imagine for free including cloud analysis. Source: about 3 years ago

• Why is this the Mainline if White wins more than 50% of the time?

  This is the top line when entering Be3 Scheveningen on https://database.chessbase.com/ and other databases. But when looking through the results Black had won only 3 games out of around 25, while white had won around 15. On Lichess a similar winrate is shown: 77 games, 60% winrate for white, 30% draw rate and only 10% winrate for black. IMO 60% for white and 10% for black in a mainline is too big of a disparity...

• Best source for studying Caro

  Https://database.chessbase.com/ I sometimes use this one if I just want to check quickly the most recently played games. All games are only available if you are Premium member otherwise you can only access the most recent ones. Source: over 3 years ago
