Subject: ChessBase or Chess Assistant?
|
I spent a lot of money...time...working on chess theory
but I still confused about which is the best chess training and
database program
as professionals say: there is just two options [chessbase and chess
assistant]
I work on chess assistant for long time but I found that most of chess
players prefer chessbase becuase of many chess software and chess
ebooks created by chessbase (look at
:http://groups.google.com/group/Share-Your-Chessbase-Files)
so I decide to change to chessbase and I want to know am I right? or
just return to Chess Assistant
Thanks

I like the board/graphics better in Chessbase. Having said that, I strongly
recommend George Renko's Tactics CDs for everybody Class A and below. It is
compatible with Chessbase. Hundreds of timed tactical problems grouped by
theme. Chess Assistant has similar packages but, again, you must deal with
the graphics.
Good luck!

"Me too" is the worst reason to make a decision. Are you dissatisfied with
Chess Assistant? If not, why change?
You can buy only _one_ training title from ChessBase and you'll have a free
ChessBase reader you can use with all those ChessBase eBooks and databases.
A database program lets you manage a large (set) of data, in this case chess
games, to be used for datamining. It means extracting information from the
gathered data, be it other's or your own games.
For any serious user, neither ChessAssistant nor ChessBase will be a
desillusion; they're both excellent programs. CB more tending to database
functions, CA more to a bit of alround accessibility.
As an example, for database use I find the ChessBase keys better than the CA
classifiers; I also find navigating through the games easier with CB than
with CA; but CA is faster in handling large databases, e.g. in creating
opening "books" (trees) and it's a more allround program, with a few strong
engines included.
Nothing wrong with either of them for any serious chess player.
