Since the year 1886, there have been world championships in chess. The world champion was nearly always determined in a duel. Whoever wanted to climb the throne had to defeat the reigning king. Despite this long period in time, there have only been 14 world champions in the history of chess until the year 2000, when Vladimir Kramnik seized the title from Kasparov. Far more extensive, however, are the world championships matches themselves. According to ChessBase, the last clash between Kasparov and Karpov was world match no. 35. Afterwards, there were three Kasparov duels which were played outside the auspices of FIDE. A second database is dedicated the six FIDE world championships from 1993 to 2002.
For each World Championship match there is one introductory text including pictures plus short biographies of all world champions and challengers. In all there are more than 2,200 games, more than half of them annotated, with extensive video material (about 4.5 GB). Also includes a training database by Dr. Karsten Müller.
Requirements: 32Mb RAM, Win 98/2000/Me/XP/Vista, DVD-ROM drive, Fritz 8+ or ChessBase 7+.

THE GREATEST TOURNAMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF CHESS 1851-1986 (DVD)
There are names of towns and cities, which have special resonance for chess players. Towns like Hastings, Wijk aan Zee, Karlsbad, Tilburg or Bugojno may well be small, but they just happen to be the names of great chess tournaments. Of course these major tournaments also took place in the great cities of the world. It all started with London 1851, where Adolf Anderssen enjoyed his greatest triumph. In the prize lists the names of the top players of their day turn up with great regularity as winners: Morphy (New York 1857), Steinitz (Vienna 1873), Lasker (amongst others London 1899 and New York 1924), Capablanca (amongst others San Sebastian 1911), Alekhine (amongst others Bled 1931) etc.
Requires: Fritz 8+ or ChessBase 7+, Win 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista, DVD drive.
