Simple yet indispensable


This software can be used for the loading and playing through of games in all today’s data
formats on your Windows PC.

Support for the text based PGN format, which is so widely used on the internet, should be of
special interest. This free program provides you with a clear and easy-to-use tool for accessing
the world's chess literature.

Over and above that the new


Reader supports all the
content in our own Chess
Media format, which we use
as a medium to present the
FRITZTRAINER series. With
the help of the Chess Media
system it is possible to
play videos with chess lectures
embedded within the
program. The graphical chess board is shown synchronised to the running of the video, but
remains totally independent and playable with access to many of the familiar ChessBase tools.

This allows chess lessons and chess training to be presented via the program in the most realistic
fashion possible.

In the new 2017 version the MP4 format for the presentation of the media content has now been
integrated. This format has established itself as the standard one for the presentation of the
contents of videos on websites. That makes it possible to present FRITZTRAINER videos within
web pages, and is also fully accessible on mobile devices inclduing Android and iOS tablets. In
addition to MP4, the new ChessBase Reader 2017 also supports the legacy Windows Media
Video (WMV) format used in the past. Therefore the new version is recommended to all users of
FRITZTRAINER for accessing the contents of the DVDs.

Download and installation


The new Reader offers many of the functions of our full-fledged database program ChessBase 14.
You will always find the installer on our website via "Support → Download".

From there, load the most recent version of the ChessBase


Reader and save to your hard disk the installer with the file
extension *.msi.

You start the installation of the program with a double-click


in Windows Explorer (or any alternative file manager).

Examples of use
Should you have neither ChessBase nor Fritz, the new ChessBase Reader 2017 is required to use
FRITZTRAINER courses or when studying ChessBase Magazine. When a DVD-ROM is inserted, the
reader should start automatically, otherwise you can get help by clicking on “Show Contents of
DVD” in the main menu.

With ChessBase Reader 2017 you can, of course, open all other database formats in addition to the
Media DVD-ROM’s . If, for example, you own the Mega Database you can load the games and play
through them in the board window. It is even possible to link to any one of the freely available
UCI engines so as to obtain a specific evaluation of a position using the engine of your choice.

The new ChessBase Reader 2017 offers you all the functions you require to load current chess data
formats. The database program ChessBase 14 naturally offers even more functionality, but with
the Reader you can already get a good impression of the possibilities for annotation and analysis
which are available.

And did we mention it's completely free?

Hi, is there anybody else having problems with ChessBase Reader 2017? I installed it two days ago
having uninstalled my trusty ChessBase Reader 12. I checked and confirmed that all my stored
Fritz Trainer downloads worked so all seemed good. But then I purchased and downloaded
Powerplay 25 by Daniel King. The problem was it would not activate properly - Daniel King spoke
but the chess board did not play. It had said Activation successful but this was clearly not the
case. It went round and round in a loop asking me to reactivate it with the code. I got in touch with Chessbase
and they suggested a session with their technician on Team Viewer. The technician spent ages trying this and
that, uninstalling ChessBase Reader 2017 and reinstalling it, but no good. As a gesture of goodwill they then
offered me a free download of a Fritz trainer by Robert Ris. I nervously downloaded it. I inserted the activation
code but again it failed in that it kept saying "wait for a few minutes" . ChessBase Reader 2017 is very recent. My
question to the chess community is there anyone else having the kind of problems I describe? or does some
technical wizz have any idea about the cause of my problem and how to fix it.

Hi, interested in being able to watch Fritztrainer content on my ipad - there is reference to IoS
above?
