Absolutely delighted to see that the utterly pointless splitting up of games into "top 50" and the rest has been ditched :D :D

More games than in recent issues, and more annotated by the players too.

The "theoretical surveys" are short and snappy, rather than the indigestible wodge of theory referred to in the original post.

In short, a definite improvement. Keep it up :)
So returning to one of the points made earlier, what use is Informator to an up-and-coming players these days with all the databases around? Would anyone here recommend it, or are there better things to spend money on? And what level of player should be aiming to subscribe? If you had to chose between a good database and an Informator subscription, which would be better and which would be cheaper? Do you need both?
