copying games (e.g. those from a ChessBase Magazine DVD). If you do want the

Update Default Book
If the destination database is your reference database and you have installed a
default book then it is advisable to have the book updated when you are copying the
games.
3.4.12 Choosing good games
Chessbase makes it possible to put predefined values in the search dialog or the list
views to make sure that only good games are displayed.
In order to do this the program must first set up the necessary data in the database.
Load a database. The setup is carried out in the game list using the menu Ga m e s Ba d Ga m e Se t .
This can improve the quality of the data displayed by only referencing good games.
This function only takes into account games in which at least one player has an Elo
rating above 2350 or at least one of the players has an IM or GM title. The function
excludes blitz, rapid and simultaneous games. Games are excluded that are shorter
than seven moves, and drawn games less than 20 moves long are also excluded.
3.4.13 Import protocol
The import protocol of a database keeps trach of all the databases that were copyied
into it. ChessBase uses this to warn you if you try to copy the games of a database
twice.
You can view the import protocol by clicking Show protocol in the databases
properties (right-click a database icon, select Properties – Show protocol).
Clicking Reset protocol will erase the records.
The information about which games have been imported is stored in the “INI” file of
the database.
