ChessBase 14
Should you – like the majority of users of CB – already have registered for an account
with ChessBase enter your own data, i.e. user name and password. “Save password”
makes access easier when you re-start the program, since you do not have to enter
your access data each time.
After you have registered there is a simple way to check whether your log-in has
worked. A click on “playchess.com” in the bottom left of the window starts the access
to the chess server with your user name. Unlike in earlier versions of the program,
therefore, you do not have to keep on entering your access data because the login
now follows “seamlessly”.
The panel reappears in those windows which require logging in to a server.
These are as follows:
1. Chess server: login is automatic. You can start working immediately.
2. Games cloud: here too the login is automatic. But there is the additional option of
working on the databases offline.
3. Engine cloud: here too the login is automatic. You can start working immediately.
4. Online database: if your ChessBase account has premium access and you are
logged in, when you access the online database you also receive games in annotated
form.
5. Let's Check / Live book: automatic login only works here if you have indicated this
in the appropriate setup dialog.
The entries for name and password are prefilled with your CB Account data. Otherwise
there is no change here from the previous version.
6. Games subscriptions: here too, login is automatic. If you have already registered
your weekly games updates under your CB account, there is no more you need to do.
Everything works as previously.

User Concept with Ribbons
Che ssBa se uses a completely new design which is based on the proposals of the
“Microsoft Fluent UI”. The so-called Ribbons were first used by Microsoft in Office
2007. The ribbon is a graphical concept for combining menus and icons. This user
concept is very useful for complex programs.
