any other candidate move order in your opening). In case that a follow-up position is reachable by an independent candidate move order of your opening, it won’t be deleted. So this function just ensures that you still have a
consistent database where all positions and candidate moves are valid and reachable. Two simple examples to
explain this a little bit more. Let’s assume you have the following moves in your database:
1. d4 – d5, 2. c4 dxc4  if you delete the candidate move d5 the positions of c4 and dxc4 will be deleted as
well as the respective candidate moves. At the end only the move d4 is left.
Now let’s say we have the same moves as above and additionally these moves too:
1. c4 – d5, 2. d4 dxc4  if you delete again the same candidate move of our first example (d5), dxc4 won`t be
deleted in this case, because another candidate move order is leading to this position too!
It’s important to know that really all follow-up positions and candidate moves are deleted which are only reachable by the candidate move to be deleted. If you confirm the deletion there is no way to get them back except to
enter them again (including all comments and evaluations, because they have been deleted too). They are not
just hidden!
Additionally to the ribbon commands you can also invoke a context menu by right-clicking:

The context menu contains one additional function: Position Evaluation. This let you change the position evaluation of the succeeding position without having to navigate to it first.

(beside the import function).
