The killing doubles functions is much better!! It can find much more duplicates then CB7. In my 2.7 million database it could find very easily 300.000 doubles. There are a lot of bugs fixed which CB7 had. The CB8 also now knows that if 2 games are equal and one has round numbers, elo's, subround numbers he has to take that game. This was an error in CB7. The integrity check is also better. It can check if all moves are legal (CB7), it checks the headers more, and has also some more annotation checks. And it fixed 4000 problems in my 2.7 million games database which CB7 could not find!! Very nice is the integration with the internet. Besides getting updates and games which also CB7 could do. ChessBase 8.0 can search in the the chessbase-online database on the internet. It's possible to copy the results to your database. So you now can easily add high quality games to your system. The playerbase is 3 times as big as the CB7 version. So much more information is in it. So CB8 is a must to have.
