Go up one level in this thread


You do not need CB8 to enjoy chessbase magazines or monographs.
Using the database functions of Fritz, shredder or junior will do fine.
And Cbase light is included with monographs for the cb impaired.

You will need a media player enabled on your machine like windows media player 9
in order to view videos which are avi type files.

CB8 excels at handling large databases-- with more than 8000 records-- which the
'lite' version is crippled to not handle well. It is also useful for
web-publishing and opening preparation against specific tournament opponents.
Also good for designing opening books to use with playing engines. These are
nice features but not necesary to read a magazine of chess games.
cheers, marc
