Display of hot variations in the openings reference.
Easy dialog for the reference database update subscription.
Creation of EBooks in the formats epub and mobi (for Amazon Kindle).

reference view has been integrated.
Display of novelties. Unlike the earlier program versions ChessBase 11 no longer uses
the locally installed reference database, but only the fast, always up to date online
database for searches. This gives you an immediate overview of current trends in
openings theory.
Compact file format *cbone. Databases are stored in a single file. This is ideal for
backup files and for sending databases.
