Anyone updated to version 5?
It works Horrible for me. Almost everywhere by many icons it says: "no text" !!
Someone the same problem?


Yes, I updated to this version, too. And everything is working fine.
So, maybe you are using Chessbase 12 with different language than English and while updating, the language file that responds for the proper view of your software just didn't updated as it should.  Undecided

You're right.
I already set it back to english instead of dutch. Just after my message and it works fine that way. But thanks anyway, you're completely right!  Smiley

I have been in touch with ChessBase about this today and I can confirm it's now back up and running!

Eh?? I used it all the time last year, up to and including just before Christmas!

I will email ChessBase about this and report back ...

Has the chessbase database on chesslive.de been taken offline, or is this only temporary?

I've been using chesslive.de often per week in the last year. Until it stopped being available about a week ago.

The depth algorithms of Rybka and Houdini are way too different, so we can't make general conclusions about their real depth values. Nevertheless, it's beyond doubt that the Houdini engine is better and faster..  Wink

As of SP4, copying games is still buggy.  I clipped a few games to the clipboard and then tried to copy them to a database, and I got a (non-fatal) error.  Trying to fix game order also causes an error.  In both cases integrity check fixes whatever problems are caused.

The access to cloud engines is pretty neat.  I will say, however, that the Rybka Cluster is dramatically overpriced.  The fastest Houdini engines are 1/8th the cost of the Rybka Cluster and hit deeper depths faster.

One annoying feature is that when I try to save a game from the board window into "My Repertoire" database, CB does not seem to correctly save the header information.  So far I have had to manually correct each game header. 

I also notice a possible problem when entering games manually for your repertoire database.   If I right click on the board of a game that I enter manually with annotations and select "Add to Repertoire..." CB does not save the annotations unless I have already saved the game separately.  I was assuming when I used "Add to Repertoire..." CB would automatically save all the content I have typed to the repertoire database and not exclude the annotations.

it turns out that the problem is isolated to the Nimzo Indian ebook.

The older playable eBooks may have used a font for the text file that ChessBase have discarded - I will look into it.


Edit: Actually there may have been a naming problem and an older file (with less games) was being downloaded by mistake, please try now.


Yes, that corrected the problem with the Nimzo ebook.  Thank you for addressing it so quickly!

The problems were with the actual moves in the ebooks.  For example, instead of Bd3 there is an unusual character instead of the B.

This does sound like a font problem, they all look fine on my copy of CB12.


Tony, it turns out that the problem is isolated to the Nimzo Indian ebook.  The others appear fine (at least all that I have checked.)  I tried downloading and replacing the previous version of the Nimzo ebook but unfortunately that did not solve the problem and the same issues are present where the piece images in the notation are replaced by odd characters.
