• Rybka & Aquarium. Rybka is by far the strongest chess engine and the computer world chess champion. Our Rybka family of products was developed to allow users to take full advantage of Rybka’s amazing power through effective and innovative analysis methods. Besides Rybka herself (single- and multi-processor versions) we offer our new and modern user interface, Aquarium, which was developed specifically for Rybka. Aquarium is available bundled with Rybka 3 as well as a standalone product at a lower price.
   
• Chess Assistant and Databases. This product category comprises Chess Assistant, the chess database powerhouse, and our extensive chess databases. Chess Assistant includes the Rybka chess engine, so we have an overlap with the Rybka family described above. Chess Assistant is also available in various combinations with our database products. All our database products are also compatible with Aquarium. They include a database of 3,5 million games and a correspondence chess database with 370,000 games. For opening studies we offer Chess Opening Encyclopedia and databases with tens of millions of positions analyzed by Rybka and other chess engines.
