 Mega
Database 2006 (DVD-ROM)
Top-quality games collection produced by ChessBase. Contains more
than 3.2 million games from 1530 to 2005 to ChessBase's high quality
standard. 60,000 games contain commentary from top players, with
ChessBase opening classification and more than 100,000 key positions,
direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames.
The largest top-class annotated database in the world. The most
recent games of the database are from the middle of November 2005.
Mega 2006 also features a new edition of the playerbase. As usual,
this is where most of the work was done. As the player index already
contains more than 180,000 entries, it made sense to use an adapted
playerbase which includes about 200,000 names. Doing this, the photo
database was extended as well to contain 26,000 pictures.. System
Requirement: Pentium PC, Win Me/XP, 64 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, ChessBase
9.0, hard disk space requirements 1 GB..

 All World Championships DVD-ROM
Since the year 1886, there have been world championships in chess.
The world champion was nearly always determined in a duel. Whoever
wanted to climb the throne, he had to defeat the reigning king.
Despite this long period in time, there have only been 14 world
champions in the history of chess until the year 2000, when Vladimir
Kramnik seized the title from Kasparov. Far more extensive, however,
are the world championships matches themselves. According to ChessBase,
the last clash between Kasparov and Karpov was world match no. 35.
Afterwards, there were three Kasparov duels which were played outside
the jurisdiction of FIDE. A second database is dedicated the six
FIDE world championships from 1993 until 2002 • for each match
there is one introductory text including pictures • short biographies
of all world champions and challengers • more than 2,200 games,
more than half of them annotated • extensive video material
(about 4.5 GB) • training database by Dr. Karsten Müller
• System requirements: Pentium, 32 MB Ram, Windows 98,
2000, ME, XP, DVD-ROM drive, works with Fritz 8, ChessBase 7.0 or
ChessBase 8.0, but there is no need to own any of these programs
as it comes with its own ChessBase Reader.
