available start of November. From Viktor (the producer of CA8): Among the main features are 1) Chess Tiger 2004 is included. Delfi engine is added into standard package. 2) An access to the opening encyclopedia is improved thanks to a new revolutionary mode - Opening Tables, which presents the theoretical material in a familiar form of the encyclopedic table and allows you to replay the opening lines on the chessboard. You can annotate theoretic lines using a new facility for adding\editing variations. The Chess Opening Encyclopedia 2004 mode includes rich theoretical material on all the openings, more than 8,000 annotations from GM Kalinin and 500,000 expert evaluations to key opening positions. 2) Internet Chess Assistant Club mode (russianchessclub.com) - playing through the Internet for free, scheduled tournaments with prizes (from blitz to correspondence), chess training, special chess mail service, Internet access to databases, online-support for CA8 customers, etc. 3) The possibilities of searching and accessing the databases are greatly improved thanks to the new search mode - the Composite search. Here you can find over 100 chess criteria built-in into Chess Assistant's search facility, which facilitate you orientation in various stages of the chess game - opening, middlegame and endgame. The composite search is based on the extended version of CQL language (www.rbnn.com/cql/). 4) A new players' multimedia Encyclopedia includes images of 800 top players, as well as data organized by year\tournament; this is also an excellent device accessing databases for players' games. 5) The Chess Assistant development staff have created a video course of several flash animation videos.
