This reply from customer support explains the fix. My version of chessbase 9 actually had no way of inputing the serial number. Just Start, Install, and something else, I think (from memory) but no uninstall. Nothing in Start > Programs > Chessbase, except the CB main application and the Fritz main application. Nothing in control panel, add and remove programs. I absolutely can not find a way to uninstall. I tried to uninstall CB 9 and reinstall it to see if that would help. The program did not ask me to enter a serial number on installation. I made sure to register the program with the serial number that is printed on the front of my owners manual. Now I frequently get the message, "info: your serial number is not valid" and the entire chessbase program just shuts down." At least it asks me if I want to save before it shuts down. The program was working fine for the first week or so. The first is really a tech support question and I have an email in to chessbase support. And selecting Tools | Opening Report can be interesting for critical positions 5-15 moves into a game or so.ġ. I find including those in my annotations to be a very useful way to describe some positions. Oh! And be sure to try holding down "alt", "alt+shift", and "alt+ctrl" and then move a piece. using Chessbase I analyze each position in turn with my mind, an engine or two, and the game databases. Then again, I rarely analyze my games in one shot. You can use Fritz or Arena for engine shootouts, playing against an engine, or asking an engine to analyze a whole game in one shot.
You can’t play against the engine or do things like engine shootouts, is that right? If so, that’s fine as I also have Fritz, but wondering.Ĭorrect. I like to see the position first with my own eyes.Īquaman> 2. Under the same toggle I turned off Threats & Generate Threats. If I let go of the piece at that point it will jump to the blue outlined candidate square. When I go to move a piece, a candidate square will show a blue outline. Would definitely recommend it.Īquaman> 1. You can’t play against the engine or do things like engine shootouts, is that right?

It appears that the engines are only used for help functions like kibitzing and don’t actually move pieces like they do in Fritz.
Is there a way to turn that off? I’m not even sure that the candidate square is intended to be the best move for that piece. I’ve figured out how to turn off all help and suggestions, except possibly one. Multiple board windows and multiple active databases is great, too. Great software! It’s so nice for manual analysis to have the engines not turn on all the time, compared to Fritz. I received chessbase 9.0 starter pack about a week ago.
