A new generation of analysis and preparation

ChessBase 26 is not just a program for storing games. It is a complete platform for studying chess in a deeper and more organised way.

It allows you to work with large databases, prepare openings, review your own games, compare positions with model games and use analysis engines. It is a very useful tool for club players, coaches, chess schools and chess clubs.

Opening Report: understand your openings better

One of the great new features of ChessBase 26 is the new Opening Report, a function that generates complete reports on opening positions.

It does not simply show which moves have been played most often. It also helps you understand:

• Popularity of the variation.
• Results by Elo level.
• Historical development of the line.
• Players who have used it.
• Typical plans for each side.
• Most common strategic ideas.

This is especially useful because an opening does not work the same way at every level. A line that may be very demanding for a club player may be common among grandmasters, and vice versa: a simple and practical variation may work very well in school tournaments or club competitions.

Typical plans and better strategic understanding

ChessBase 26 also helps you understand the plans in a position better. In many openings, memorising moves is not enough: it is essential to know where the pieces are going, which pawn breaks are common and what type of structure each side is aiming for.

With ChessBase 26 you can study ideas such as:

• Typical piece manoeuvres.
• Central or flank pawn breaks.
• King-side attacking plans.
• Common piece exchanges.
• Characteristic pawn structures.
• Model positions for each opening.

Mega Database 2026 included

The Premium Package includes Mega Database 2026, one of the most complete chess game databases in the world. It is ideal for preparing openings, finding model games, studying grandmasters and analysing specific positions with a very large reference database.

With Mega Database 2026 you can work with historical games, modern games, grandmaster examples, open tournaments and a large amount of useful material for training and competitive preparation.

Corr Database 2026 included

In addition to Mega Database 2026, the ChessBase 26 Premium Package includes Corr Database 2026, a database specialised in correspondence chess games.

The correspondence database is especially useful for studying deep lines, theoretical ideas, strategic plans and variations that have been analysed in great detail. It is a very interesting complement for advanced users, coaches and players who study opening theory in depth.

1,000 Ducats included

The Premium Package also includes 1,000 Ducats, which can be used within the ChessBase ecosystem to access certain online services and content.

This extra makes the Premium Package the most complete option for anyone who wants to get the most out of ChessBase 26 and its connected services.

Premium account for 12 months

ChessBase 26 Premium Package includes 1 year of ChessBase Premium account, which gives access to ChessBase online services for 12 months.

This Premium account is especially useful for making better use of the ChessBase ecosystem and working with online resources, databases, training tools and connected features.

Game updates during 2026

The package includes Update Service until 31/12/2026, with approximately 5,000 new games per week. This allows you to keep the database updated throughout the year and follow the development of modern opening theory.

It is an important advantage for players preparing tournaments, coaches looking for recent games and clubs that want to work with up-to-date material.
