Analysis Engine for Chessbase 15

I am looking for an analysis engine to use with Chessbase. I have not yet received CB15 (out of the country right now), but I've been watching videos and reading articles on it and its older versions. What I cannot determine is if I should get some other engine for game/position analysis. I would hope whatever engine there is would be able to fully integrate with Chessbase. What engine would be the best to use with CB, in your opinion, assuming one is desired/necessary?

I have not played competitive chess for about 30 years. Now that I'm getting close to retirement, I've started to study again in the hopes of doing a weekend tournament or two on occasion. I'm computer literate (despite what millennials might think about us boomers), so I've picked up Chessbase15 with the mega database, which was new when I stopped studying and playing tournaments. I am an 1800ish player.

Any suggestions, pointers, or just advice for an ex-average club player getting back into the game? Thanks in advance for any help or advice I might receive. I've also been to TWIC and downloaded some of those databases in the hopes of integrating them into CB. Thanks to John Hartmann for his introductory youtube video on ChessBase. I think I read on this forum that he had just posted it.

I am trying this site with the free membership for now. If someone wants to point me to some unbiased sources for determining which sites to join, and whether supporting the site is worthwhile with a membership or other purchase, that'd be useful, too.

Sorry for the long first post. Please consider this an introduction, as well as a genuine request for advice/opinions. I've been reading the chess clock arguments. Interesting, indeed.

I found this link on Chess.com through a web search. The search here did not come up with it with the search terms I used:

2015 Chess.com article on Chess Engines

It shows Stockfish, Houdini, Fire, Gull, and Komodo.  I've downloaded the freeware versions of these, and found out where to find them in Chessbase, but since I still don't have chessbase, I won't be certain for another week or so.

Are there any better ones? What about the endgame and powerbook iterations with Fritz16? Are they worth the additional $150?

For analysis, the engine that comes with Chessbase 15 is entirely adequate. If you want something stronger, pick up the free stockfish. I personally use Komodo 12.2.2 that I bought for other reasons and although Stockfish is very marginally stronger, when used for analyzing they are both way way more than good enough.

I use both this site and chesstempo for studying tactics. They have their strengths and weaknesses and if I had to choose just one it would be chesstempo. Happily I don't and they complement each other well. I use the free version of each.

Chessbase 15 comes with a code for some # of months on playchess.com. They have videos if you like learning that way. But watching videos tends to be passive, and while they are worth a watch, I certainly would not make it my primary way of studying.

You don't mention what your OTB strength was. Depending on that, you might want to look into the series by Yusupov, which is excellent. I've got a thread going on my progression through book 1, which I have now almost completed.

Thank you for the informed reply, madratter7.  When I played OTB nearly 30 years ago, I had a peak of about 1850 or 1870 USCF, but I made it through to the CM level (1900) in FIDE in Europe.  I never played a game/tournament after (in Europe; moved back the the US), so I don't think I'm actually recorded as 1900 or even listed. 1900 was the starting rating when I was living in Europe, but you had to win or place fairly high in the lower-rated (unrated, but "rated" in the USCF sense) tournaments. The highest rated player I've beaten in a USCF-rated game was 2232, so I was (at one time) a decent club player. I've been doing the C.com and Ctempo tactics, and I suck now... but getting better. Lastly, concerning ratings, I don't know how a 30 year old rating would compare with a modern rating. 

Since Stockfish is free, I'll start using it when I install Chessbase. At the outset, I plan to use CB mainly for opening preparation so I don't have a losing position 8 moves into a game. I'm sure OTB has changed with the advent of computers. I'll start playing live games after a few weeks or months of studying to catch up on my theory before subjecting my opponent to a complete patzer.

I don't watch many videos. I learn by reading. I've been watching videos trying to find out about Chessbase, but the videos are so slooooow. I think I might make a video on CB15 from the "new to chessbase" perspective. It will talk about how hard it is to find useful information on actually using, improving the program, but from a complete CB newbie's point of view.
