MasterChess 9000
Would you like to have the important powerful functions found in ChessBase and Fritz – but without the feature creep and without the price tag?
Here are six reasons to grab MasterChess today…
Reason #6
It’s not copy protected.
We’ve all heard of players who paid for their game database app and then were locked out of using it because the copy protection scheme failed. That can’t happen with your MasterChess.
Reason #5
Six million games without paying extra.
And if you want the newest games? Just copy any link to PGN games and paste it into MasterChess and it will do the rest.
Reason #4
It is supported by the programmer.
For the last 42 years when a Bookup customer has a technical issue, Mike himself answers that email or he gets on the phone with the player. You won’t find that level of support anywhere else. (There’s a reason Mike talks to his customers. Those discussions give him the best ideas for new functions.)
Reason #3
There’s a new Macintosh version.
The big guys don’t make a version for the Mac. Mike does.
Reason #2
Stockfish as an analyst and as a playing opponent.
You can get god-like analysis of the position or you can adjust the playing strength using Stockfish’s rating adjustment or with its level 1-20 function.
Reason #1
MasterChess has been around since 1998.
You are enjoying decades of refinement in this powerful tool which started when Paul Azzurro of Ches for Less commissioned Mike to leverage the Bookup code base to put millions of games on a DVD. Paul called this program MasterChess 98.
Bonus Reason
MasterChess can handle PGN files larger than 2GB.
More players are amassing huge collections of games, and the other game database apps just can’t handle files that big. Everything in MasterChess is kept in the PGN format so there’s no need for conversion. Just let it create turbo search indexes and you’re good to go.
