The 936 selected annotated games provide excellent study material. Top players such as Aronian (1), Eljanov (2), Esipenko (2), Gelfand (4), Giri (7), Karjakin (1), Kasimdzhanov (1), Kramnik (2), Le Quang Liem (1), Nakamura (1), Navara (3), Ponomariov (2), So (2), Vidit (4), Wang Hao (1), Wojtaszek (2) have analysed their games, plus commentaries by Catalan experts such as Ribli (265) and Marin (105) and other top-class authors. In total there are 9,158 games, with a rating average of at least 2570 (excluding games with commentaries and the Grünfeld experts Dubov, Andreikin and Gelfand).
Double-click on the database to load the game overview. Double-click again to load the corresponding game. You can sort the games by frequency using the Players tab (with the Total tab). Daniil Dubov is at the top of the list with 285 games. It is also worth studying the games of Dmitry Andreikin (238) and Boris Gelfand (253). It is also interesting to click on titles; (you should have an up-to-date player lexicon installed) you can see that almost all world champions had or still have Catalan in their repertoire.
The games can be played through or analysed further with an engine or a Powerbook.
