Chess Opening Encyclopedia with more than 8000 annotations and 40 million evaluations by strongest engines key positions.

With Fritz once you leave the analysis and come back, it starts from scratch, so this feature is a very handy one.

Interactive analysis allows you guide the engine in its analysis and pick lines and it remembers the results.

Multi-pass game analysis is an advanced analysis method to fine-tune each step of the search.

Automatic opening annotation that searches for novelties, adds annotations from the Opening Encyclopedia, CAP evaluations, inserts reference games etc.

Access to 7-piece Lomonosov Tablebases, but only until the end of the year - this is not too important because EGDBs are available free online.

I finally decided that the basic Chess Assistant would do just fine.

Price was also a big consideration: CA16 Basic can be downloaded for $85 from the USCF and the CB13 Starter package is much higher at $219, plus there is no download version available.

In any case, Chessbase has a lot of stuff in which I have no interest.like the LetвЂ™s Check and Engine Cloud (which requires a membership) and half a yearвЂ™s subscription to ChessBase Magazine. They told me to go pound salt.buy a new program, they said. I e-mailed Chessbase and explained the problem.

I still had the CD for Fritz 12, but not the serial code because that got lost when our house flooded. Learning all the secrets of Aquarium which was lost when my old laptop crashed was time consuming and at times confusing. I am not sure whether the need to do this is poorly documented or if I just missed it. That generated another e-mail to Chessbase Support and the next morning I got a reply directing me to the location on their site where the database plus several other components could be downloaded. The 6.45 million game database that was supposed to come with the program was nowhere to be found.

After several tries I got the link to work, but the serial number I was given generated a massage saying that it was expired!! So, that afternoon I sent an e-mail to Chess Assistant explaining the problem and by 7:00 am the next morning I had a link that worked, but there was still a problem. The question was should it be Chess Assistant or Chessbase? I like Chessbase products and their learning curve is likely to be shorter because of my familiarity with Fritz, but from experience I know Chess Assistant has excellent customer service in case their might be a problem, which, based on my experience with Aquarium, there was likely to be and that's exactly what happened.ДЄfter ordering CA16 download from the USCF over the weekend I had to wait until the link came on Monday. I also considered updating Fritz 12 but finally determined it would best be replaced with a database program which is more likely to be useful in correspondence play. I had been debating whether or not to buy a chess set but decided against it because it's been ages since I've played an OTB game so there's no real need for a set. After having spent the last few days recovering from eye surgery I have been toying around with my recently purchased Chess Assistant.
