In the age of engines, chess is much more concrete than previously thought. But amateurs in particular love openings with clear plans, see the London System. In ChessBase ’26, three functions deal with the display of plans. The new opening report examines which piece moves or pawn advances are significant for each important variation. In the reference search you can now see on the board where the pieces usually go. If you start the new Monte Carlo analysis, the board also shows the most common figure paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h3\"\u003eThe new opening report\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe opening report is a comprehensive treatise on all variations of the current board position. Based on historical development, the success statistics of a variation in different Elo ranges are shown. The usual statistics sum up the success and popularity of a variation across all skill levels and thus ignore exciting information. The new report opens your eyes to how different openings work for different skill levels. For example, the Scandinavian is simply bad for Black at top level, but up to Elo1800 it is a convenient, theory-saving way to equalize.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem; font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/shop.chessbase.com\/images\/chessbase\/26\/Popularity-Black.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrandmasters don't like the Scandinavian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/shop.chessbase.com\/images\/chessbase\/26\/Heatmap-English.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1.25rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3, 3…Qd6 is better than 3…Qa5 in nearly all Elo regions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the opening report shows 3…Qa5 as the most frequently played main system, which is also at the top in all treatises.
