Databases
Wha t is a da t a ba se ? A database is a collection of chess games. A database is a single
collection – you may have a number of separate “databases”. You talk of the
“Kasparov database” or “My King's Indian database”. Databases contain the moves of
games and information on the players, the tournament, result, etc. They can also
contain text reports. The games may contain analysis and commentary, including
videos and sound tracks, which will be displayed when you replay the games with
ChessBase.
ChessBase displays these in its database window, where each database is given as an
icon and can be opened with a double click. Opening a database will list the contents
of that database.
