3.16.6.2 Access / Logon
Just like the simple access to PlayChess.com, all you need to access the cloud is a
ChessBase account.
Here is a description of what possibilities are offered by the web based access to the
cloud server.
Although access is free of charge, the full functionality of the cloud is only available if
you have an active and unlocked ChessBase account. You can log in with your
account or you can create a new account on the web site.
Depending on the type of ChessBase membership you have you can create a large
number of databases which you can delete again at any time.
The databases "M y Ga m e s", "Re pe rt oire Whit e " and "Re pe rt oire Bla c k" are always
installed. If you attempt to delete these databases all the games are removed, but the
databases themselves remain in place.
Guest access is pointless for this function, so you should create a ChessBase account
if you don't already have one.
You can access the databases that you have saved on the cloud server with
ChessBase with any Internet web browser. The opposite is also possible. You can
create data with the web application and then access them later with ChessBase.
Storage space for the cloud databases
The amount of storage space you can use depends on the type of PlayChess
membership that you have. A free ChessBase account offers you 20 MB storage
space. That is roughly 10,000 games. Basic membership offers you 100 MB. Premium
membership offers you much more, a total of 250 MB.
