The new Reader offers many of the functions of our full-fledged database program ChessBase 14. In addition to MP4, the new ChessBase Reader 2017 also supports the legacy Windows Media Video ( WMV) format used in the past. Therefore the new version is recommended to all users of FRITZTRAINER for accessing the contents of the DVDs. That makes it possible to present FRITZTRAINER videos within web pages, and is also fully accessible on mobile devices inclduing Android and iOS tablets. This format has established itself as the standard one for the presentation of the contents of videos on websites. In the new 2017 version the MP4 format for the presentation of the media content has now been integrated. This allows chess lessons and chess training to be presented via the program in the most realistic fashion possible.

With the help of the Chess Media system it is possible to play videos with chess lectures embedded within the program. Over and above that the new Reader supports all the content in our own Chess Media format, which we use as a medium to present the FRITZTRAINER series. This free program provides you with a clear and easy-to-use tool for accessing the world's chess literature. Support for the text based PGN format, which is so widely used on the internet, should be of special interest. This software can be used for the loading and playing through of games in all today’s data formats on your Windows PC.
