ChessBase Reader 2017 by ChessBase

ChessBase Reader 2017 is a free, read-only Windows application that lets you open and study ChessBase databases and training content without a full ChessBase license. It is ideal for players, coaches, and organizers who need a fast, polished way to replay games, follow annotations, and review openings from professional sources.

Key features:

• Opens native ChessBase databases as well as PGN files
• Replays games with annotations, variations, symbols, and embedded diagrams or multimedia
• Displays player, event, and opening details; sorts and filters by fields such as player, event, ECO code, and date
• Works with ChessBase FritzTrainer courses, including video lessons and interactive training questions
• Customizes board, pieces, and notation; navigates moves via mouse or keyboard
• Prints game scoresheets and positions; copies or exports games in PGN
• Handles large databases with smooth browsing and quick search

Limitations:

• Read-only: designed for viewing and study. Advanced editing, database management, cloud workflow, and deep engine analysis are available in the full ChessBase program.
