ChessBase Complete - 2019 Supplement

Five years ago, when ChessBase Complete was released, it was an instant sensation. For the first time ever, a comprehensive manual for one of the most popular chess programs was available. It covered ChessBase through version 12.

Since then, ChessBase has introduced three new versions and a remarkable (and free) suite of online tools for the world wide web. Many new and powerful functions have been added, all with an eye towards ease-of-use.

This Supplement updates the original ChessBase Complete, and once again gives the chess community the opportunity to make the most of this remarkable software. Searches are much more powerful, analysis has been automated, and we can now take full advantage of storing and sharing our data in a “chess cloud.”

While this Supplement should be helpful to all ChessBase users, it builds upon the original edition. If you do not already have the first edition, you may wish to consider getting it.

ChessBase Complete and this Supplement should make your chess time much more productive and enjoyable and, with the software at hand, vastly accelerate your chess improvement.

Jon Edwards recently qualified for the World Correspondence Chess Championship final round. He won the 10th United States Correspondence Championship in 1997 and the 8th North American Invitational Correspondence Chess Championship in 1999. In addition to the extremely popular ChessBase Complete, Jon has written more than a dozen chess books.

GM Karsten Müller, author of the endgame section in ChessBase Magazine:
"Jon Edwards is not only a real power-user and computer expert, but also an experienced chess teacher (..) He succeeds wonderfully in explaining all aspects with great clarity, using many ChessBase graphics to illustrate his points (..) You will be amazed at the many fascinating possibilities you may have overlooked."

ChessBase News:
"This is the ultimate guide to ChessBase."

Sean Marsh, CHESS Monthly:
"This very informative book, fully illustrated throughout with screenshots, is a sort of 'ChessBase for Dummies' (..) The prose is perfectly accessible, but is never patronizing. I am impressed by this book and can recommend to anyone who is either a total ChessBase novice or who would like to get more out of this famous chess software."
