PART 2 • The ribbon

The white panel above the board displays the name of the chess
opening used in that game. As you play through a game from the
beginning, the information in this panel will change to reflect the
opening classification of the current board position. An important
part of this display is the three character alphanumeric code which
appears before the opening's name. This is the ECO (Encyclopedia of
Chess Openings) code, which is very useful for searching for games
in a Chess King database. We'll examine ECO codes and database
searches in detail later.
