I had intended to show you a crushing win by Sasikiran ( Jaulneau-Sasikiran, ICCF 2014) on the Black side of a King’s Indian here, but l’Ami has annotated an even more amazing Sasikiran game in the newest (#134) New in Chess Yearbook.ġ.e4 e5 2. GM Ulf Andersson had a brilliant, if brief, dalliance with the form, and now GM Krishnan Sasikiran is perhaps the most active correspondence player among over-the-board GMs. L’Ami is not the only Grandmaster to try his hand at correspondence chess. GM Erwin l’Ami, second to GM Anish Giri, has a column in the New in Chess Yearbook where he shows new and interesting ideas from correspondence play, and recently he has taken up the mantle himself, playing games through the International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF). Attentive readers will note the increasing reference to correspondence games in game annotations, and it’s clear that the elite players are mining correspondence games for opening ideas.
Ĭorrespondence chess is taking on a new relevance in modern chess, and not just because it can be played during a pandemic.īecause most organizations allow players to make use of all resources in move generation, including computers, games at the upper echelons of correspondence chess are fantastically rich, melding high-powered silicon power with human guidance to create some astounding games. 15 euros mailed outside of Germany 13.50 euros inside Germany. My thanks to the good folks at Chess Life for allowing me to do so.Ĭorrespondence Database 2020 – $199.95 new. Minor differences exist between this and the printed version. A penultimate (and unedited) version of the review is reproduced here.
WWW CHESSBASE COM PLAYER DATABASE FULL
For $99 a year, you get unlimited tactics training, engine analysis (with Stockfish), and a full license to what used to be called Chess Mentor, in addition to opening specific training.This review has been printed in the May 2020 issue of Chess Life. This isn't to say that ChessRoots can't be something worth the price down the road, but for now this is not a great comparison.Ĭ is also something that I've happily paid for for many years. If ChessBase is Photoshop, ChessRoots as it is now is just a simple painting tool. I happily used ChessBase 9 for several years before upgrading to 14.
WWW CHESSBASE COM PLAYER DATABASE UPGRADE
You can upgrade if you think new versions are worth it (they usually aren't). * ChessBase gives you a perpetual license. * Graphical markup of positions, to show tactics like pins, skewers, forks, etc. branching moves, variations, text comments etc. * Generate endless tactics problems to drill on the actual memorization of the move orders, which I don't believe ChessRoots is showing
* Search any database (proprietary or freely downloaded) for games matching positions (partial position matches too) I can't speak to Chess Assistant, but as a longtime Chessbase owner/user, it lets you: To find a position you are interested in you can click search and enter it into a chessboard. If you want to see the opening from a specific game on the graph you can use the "Trace Game" feature, then you can paste a PGN in, or if you are a Lichess player you can grab games from your Lichess account. It can be surprising how different the graph looks in tournament games compared to even high rated Lichess games, to swap or filter the dataset click the graph button at the top of the screen. If you are interested in really high rated games you can swap the database and see tournament games with >2000 Elo from the Kingbase dataset, or to go even higher you can view a dataset from chess engines playing each other. You can see data from players similar to you by filtering the graph by Elo or time control. Transpositions are particularly interesting on a graph as they can be hard to spot otherwise. Each move on the graph is colored by the average Lichess rating of a player who makes it, you can use the graph to visualize several games at once and find transpositions between games. Using the Lichess Database containing every live Lichess game ever played, we created a website to visualize chess openings.
