Dorian Rogozenco
Grandmaster Dorian Rogozenco reveals his clean and highly organized ChessBase setup, where only the essential databases for his current projects are visible.
He explains that he’s currently working on a Rubinstein Masterclass, gathering and analysing all of Rubinstein’s games while using specialized opening databases.
Rogozenco demonstrates how he connects live tournament games with the Opening Encyclopedia to instantly identify novelties and explore related positions — a workflow that keeps his study dynamic and up-to-date.
Although his desktop looks minimal, it hides a deep structure of personal repertoires, analytical files, and multilingual resources that reflect his decades of disciplined work with ChessBase.
