Hi Torstein,

you can find a review on www.chessbase.com in English.

First of all the program works for me without any problems. No crashes and very
good new options. I like the new version and all what I try works fine. For me
important the UCI support, all the lists (compare to excel) are really great and
are very helpfull if you working with own databases. Fix I can make changes in
my CC-Calendar database and it's very easy to do it.

What I like is delete games from a PGN file. I delete a games and after closing
the database windows ChessBase asked me for delete the games for ever. This is
just great and much better as in other CB versions.

I had sponken with Martin Blume about this little feature and he told me that if
you have a bigger pgn database and you delete a game on the latest position in
the database it must work directly. If the game on the first position in the
database the complete database must be rewritten and this need time. But this
works in ChessBase just great. A lot of small changes on different positions in
detail.

This update with all the new options, see the review on ChessBase page is just
great and I am a "happy buyer". OK, I used perhaps 5-10% of the options but all
what for me is important works really fine, no wishes and happy :-)

You will like the new version I am sure because I believe a big step with a lot
of changes in detail.

Read the review on ChessBase site ...
My English is not good enough to give your more information because I need to
many time for it and you will not understand what I mean :-)

One point more:
One of the big options from Arena are the print options. In Arena you can see
that the programmer must add a lot of work in the options. So I try the print
options with ChessBase 9.0. Just genial, this must be improved a lot. To print
own games, positions you like is for the most important and helpfull.

Opening report for critcial lines is interesting for me to create books for
chess engines. Also here a lot of new options.

Enough ...

Best
Frank
