The ChessBase Opening Encyclopaedia covers the entire range of openings with over 1,300 articles.
This makes it ideal for building up a solid opening repertoire or adding strong feints to your own favourite variations. A huge fund of ideas and analyses awaits you! The concept of the opening articles: A Grandmaster or International Master presents you with a repertoire idea, introduces the most important games and his analyses, explains typical plans and points out critical variations. The basis of each article is formed by selected and annotated sample games. It is the best database to improve your opening knowledge!
