At the top you can see all loaded openings. In the example the Bishops Opening is shown. All other windows like the Candidate Move List or Move List will synchronise with the chessboard and currently shown opening. If you want to switch the active opening you can either click on one of the tabs at the top( if it was previously already opened) or use the Opening Repertoire Explorer.
If you close all tabs the chessboard will vanish. Don’ t worry. Just open another opening and a chessboard is shown again. The chessboard offers several visual helps to recognize all candidate moves and their ranking as well as the last played move. In the example above the last move is visualized by two blue boxes for the f1 and c4 square. A light green arrow indicates your top ranked candidate move Nf6. A darker green arrow shows your other candidate move for this position: Nc6.
You have several options available to adjust the chessboard square colors, candidate move arrows and the last move highlighting. You can find these options on the“ Visuals & Sound” ribbon page( s. Adjusting chessboard orientation & colors.).
Move a Piece
You can drag & drop a chess piece to make a move. If the move already exists for the opening the program will just move forward. The move will be added to the move list and the succeeding position will be shown.
If the move does not yet exist it will be created and added to the current opening first. If the move already exists for another opening, but not for the current one then the move will be just added to the opening( no new move
