Two Knights Talk: Matthias Wüllenweber on the functions and novelties of ChessBase 18
In the latest episode of their weekly show "Two Knights Talk" Arne Kähler and Johannes Fischer invited Matthias Wüllenweber to talk about the possibilities and new features of ChessBase 18, which will be released in a few days. Then they came back to the topic of cheating, since the Australian grandmaster David Smerdon presented an interesting experiment a few days ago in the C-Squared podcast by Cristian Chirila and Fabiano Caruana: the first 'cheating tournament' in chess history. ChessBase 18 is available to pre-order now. It will release in two days on 12th November 2024. Pre-Order discount of 10% is applicable on all ChessBase 18 and Mega Database 2025 products.
