You can also get the 100 euro version of ChessBase, but that is just barebones and it's better to not waste those 100 euros.
How to open chessbase online database update#
One click annotates your game with the “Theoretical Novelty” merge games on-the-fly into an opening tree generate a player’s dossier containing all available information from the database generate a comprehensive openings report with main and critical lines, plans and most important games Single click publishing of games on the Internet print games in superb quality with diagrams and multiple columns automatic update of your local reference database with the weekly install- ments of games (only with the current Mega Database) access to the ChessBase online database with over 7 million games**." “Let’s check”*: access the world’s largest database of in-depth analysis (more than 200 million positions) Cloud analysis: analysis of a single position with several engines from different computers running in parallel “Deep analysis”: generates an analysis tree that changes dynamically as with time weaker variations are dropped. Retrieve games according to openings, players and tournaments generate tournament cross tables and full graphic statistics of players or openings “Similarity search” shows all games with similar pawn structures, sacrifice patterns, endgame positions etc. However, I believe the following advert says it best (and I second everything said in it, sans the part where it claims ChessBase "prints in high quality" - printing quality is rubbish, actually).

You get more than your money's worth for chessbase, including creating your own databases, white and black repetoire, being able to deeply annotate any game, being able to look up any of the 6 mil games included in the "Big Database" (which comes with this program).

This is the best investment I've made in my life. Hi! You should get this one, for 179 euros (if you're in the u.s., just 159 euros as you needn't pay VAT)
