The exclusive annotated database. Contains more than 6.4 millions games from 1560 to 2015 in the highest ChessBase quality standard. 68,500 games contain commentary from top players, with ChessBase opening classification with more than 100,000 key positions, direct access to players, tournaments, middlegame themes, endgames. The largest topclass annotated database in the world. The most recent games of the database are from the middle of September 2015. Mega 2016 also features a new edition of the playerbase (requires ChessBase 12 or 13). As usual, this is where most of the work was done. As the player index now contains already more than 319,000 entries, it made sense to use an adapted playerbase which includes about 390,000 names. Doing this, the photo database was extended as well to contain 35,000 pictures now.
