Future database update?

[pEp]

will the future games be included in the database i.e. 2021, 2022 and so on? or will the support for the database stops at the date it was released?

no engines included?

There's no engines included. However the world's best engine is free opensource https://stockfishchess.org/download/. I added it by clicking "Create UCI Engine" on the chessbase window.

There is also no games database too
