I've been reading about the database free that chessbase provides. Do you know the link. Also, I heard it only handles so many games. Anybody know if you can forcefeed megadatabase or some of it into the free version in order to get a feel as to how megadatabase works in the regular version.

I currently have it in Fritz 12 but no pictures ect

ChessBase Light 2009 is a special version of ChessBase for free download. It is basically limited to 32000 games per database and supports CBH format and the PGN format.

Thx; Surprisingly the first 30,000 games of the megadatabase went right in and are running very well. I can't access any photos. Not sure if its the placement of my megadatabase or the free software. Says access not allowed? Strange.

Chessbase 11 is worth the money, believe me.

Probably should be played the way it was intended
