Free Download ChessBase Paramount Chess Database 2.0 | 324 MB
ChessBase Paramount Chess Database is a curated collection of annotated chess games assembled from the Chess Informant archive. It is intended for competitive players, coaches, and students who want to study instructive games and expert analysis rather than browse a collection made up primarily of unannotated scores.
The database brings together games published in Chess Informant from its first issue in 1965 through Informant 123. Its contents can be explored by individual Informant issue, player, world champion, annotator, opening, and ECO code. The collection also includes games selected as 'golden games' by a grandmaster jury.
The archive contains 113,832 entries: 70,043 complete games and 43,789 game fragments. Annotations use non-verbal chess symbols, and many games were analysed by the players themselves, including world champions and leading grandmasters. Paramount is a game database, not a dedicated chess-playing or analysis application; it is designed to work with chess database programs such as ChessBase, Chess King, and Chess Assistant.
Software Overview
The collection emphasizes annotated material selected and documented by generations of chess contributors. Its search categories provide several ways to approach the archive, whether the goal is to study a player, an opening, an Informant issue, or a particular annotator.
