This is one of the most powerful instruments for openings study available today – and
it is very easy to use. Before trying it out you must make sure that a reference
database has been defined, so that ChessBase will know which material to use for its
openings report.
Now let us assume you are interested in a particular openings line. With the critical
position on the board click Openings report. With no pre-stored information ChessBase
will go through the million or so games in your reference database and generates a
comprehensive report on what it finds (this is known as “data mining”).
This is what it contains:
The hist oric a l de v e lopm e nt of the variation
This includes the earliest and latest games. Click any of the entries on the top to load
the game. The “fashion index” gives the percentage of games relative to the entire
database.
