Players database
The players database is a huge catalog of over 100,000 players and tens of thousands
of pictures. Practically every player who has an international rating is in this
"encyclopedia".
The players database is part of the ChessBase database program. If you own this, you
can use it to help you standardise names when you are saving a game. You can type
in the name or part of it, and then let the program present a list of names from which
you can choose the correct one.

3.4.8

Autosave database
All the games played against the computer are automatically saved in a special
“autosave” database. This is physically located in the directory c:\[user]\My
documents\ChessBase\ (if you did not specify another database during installation).
The autosave database is always present in the history list at the top of the database
window.
