The main thing folk want to know is - 'does it work?' and 'will it improve my chess?'

The answer is 'yes' - if ChessBase makes such a difference to the preparations and studies of players like Kasparov, Kramnik and Anand, for match and tournament play, as well as literally thousands of other GMs, IMs, International top players, as well as County, Club and Week-end tournament users, then I think we can expect it to make a difference to ours as well!
