ChessBase is asking users what they want built next, and they're paying attention to how people actually work rather than guessing.
The company launched a survey asking players and coaches about their daily setup, hardware choices, engine workflows, and which interface elements help or frustrate them. This is smart. Software companies often build features nobody uses while ignoring the real bottlenecks.
The survey takes three minutes. Anyone who completes it gets a voucher as thanks.
This matters because ChessBase dominates preparation for serious players. How it evolves shapes how grandmasters analyze, how coaches teach, how engines integrate into training. If the current interface annoys you, if your hardware setup creates friction, if you've always wanted a specific engine workflow that doesn't exist yet, this is your moment to say so.
The company is signaling they want feedback before development starts, not after. That's the right approach. Too many tools get built by developers who don't play the game seriously enough to understand what slows down their users.
If you use ChessBase regularly, take the survey. The next update might actually solve something you've been working around for years.
