We’re pleased to share with you the first of a series of Video Tutorials that will help you get the most from the new top selling chess software Chess King. Thanks to Steve Lopez for sharing his expertise in this excellent series. We will post more tutorial videos soon, so check out our site, our Twitter, our YouTube channel, or our Facebook page.
Note that the $50 OFF coupon “INTROKING50″ is still working in our shop (making Chess King an unbelievable steal at $49 instead of $99), but it may not last long, so hurry and buy it today.

You can now update your chess software to contain more than 5,280,000 games, which are all the relevant tournament and master games since the 16th century to the end of 2011. You will then get for free updates for the whole year 2012. The games are provided in universal PGN format, which is compatible with all major chess software programs. Why pay more? By the way, the GigaKing database is included for free in the new Chess King with Houdini 2, now on sale for only $49 (with introduction coupon INTROKING49), which is a great deal, since Chess King includes both Houdini 2 and GigaKing Database, which together would cost more than the price of Chess King alone, and you get a professional chess software package with 1500+ puzzles and an exclusive random playing mode. Buy GigaKing & Chess King.
