MasterChess has been around since 1998.
You are enjoying decades of refinement in this powerful tool which started when Paul Azzurro of Chess4lesss commissioned Mike to leverage the Bookup code base to put millions of games on a DVD. Paul called this program MasterChess 98.
Bonus Reason
MasterChess can handle PGN files larger than 2GB.
More players are amassing huge collections of games, and the other game database apps just can’t handle files that big. Everything in MasterChess is kept in the PGN format so there’s no need for conversion. Just let it create turbo search indexes and you’re good to go.
What’s New?
What has changed since MasterChess 8000?
The new version is an download. (The prior versions were on DVDs that had to be shipped to you.)
The new version has a far stronger engine. Stockfish has made some strides in 12 years.
The game database has more than six million games and is updated through March 2025.
You can update it just by copying any web link to PGN and pasting it into MasterChess. This works even if the games are in a .zip file like The Week in Chess.
You can choose between a Windows version and Mac versions.
The searches are faster.
It uses a newer Pedigree database that relies solely on games between 2500+ players that were played over the past ten years. You won’t miss a game because of a different move order.
Next to the Pedigree ribbon, you can see the odds of that variation being played per 1,000 games.
It has the code signing security required by Windows 11.
It supports Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4) along with most older Intel Macs.
It comes with technical support directly from the programmer.
