 Mega
Database 2008 (DVD-ROM)
The exclusive annotated database. Contains more than 3.75 million games from the year 1560 to 2007 in the highest ChessBase quality standard. 61,000 games contain commentary from top players, with ChessBase opening classification with more than 100,000 key positions, direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames. The largest topclass annotated database in the world. The most recent games of the database are from the middle of November 2007. Mega 2008 also features a new edition of the playerbase. As usual, this is where most of the work was done. As the player index now contains already more than 200,000 entries, it made sense to use an adapted playerbase which includes about 220,000 names. Doing this, the photo database was extended as well to contain 30,000 pictures now. System requirements: Pentium PC, Windows 2000/XP/Vista, 64 MB RAM, DVD-ROM drive, ChessBase 9.0, hard disk space requirements 1.6 GB.

Turbo 3 (Nalimov Tablebases) - on 9 x DVD-ROMs
The DVD Endgame Turbo consists of 9 DVDs with endgame databases

perfection. Likewise, Fritz handles endgames with more than six
pieces much better since the program can already access the endgame
knowledge during the analysis. Definitely a must-have for correspondence
players, endgame theoreticians and those who enjoy engine matches.

 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.
