3.6.13.7 Define/Insert key memo
List w indow : Clic k Ope nings, T he m e , St ra t e gy , T a c t ic s or Endga m e
If you decide that you want to move a key up or down in your list, right-click on the
key you want to move. A popup menu will appear; select "Define key memo" in this
menu (or press Ctrl-M). You've just told ChessBase that this is the key you want to
move. Click once on the key that appears immediately above the position where you
want the moving key to appear. Right-click on it and select "Insert key memo" from
the popup menu (or press Shift-Insert). ChessBase will then move the first key to the
new spot on the list. Once in a while, particularly when you try moving a key to the
very top or bottom of a list, ChessBase will insert it above the key you've highlighted,
so it may take a bit of tweaking on your part to get the list just right -- but it's
certainly "doable".
You cannot use these functions to move an entry from one database key to another.
Use transfer key to do that. But you can use Define and Insert key memo to move a
subkey up or down in the list.
3.6.13.8 Transfer key
This is how to transfer a key from one database to another:
1. Open a database and in the list window click the key tab (e.g. Openings).
2. Switch to the database window and select a database (click it).
3. Return to the key and right-click the key you want to transfer. Select Transfer in
the menu that appears.
The key (not the games it contains) will be copied to the other database and inserted
at the end of the key that is present there.
I want to transfer a thematic classification key that I have created myself to another
database.
Unfortunately, this only works with opening keys. The “Transfer” option cannot be
selected from the thematic key context menu. Transfers don’t work for any other keys
(other than opening keys). The program does not support the transfer of thematic
keys.
3.6.14 Repertoire
3.6.14.1 Repertoire database
The repertoire database is a collection of annotated games or variations in which you
look after your repertoire. In it you collect all information on the openings systems you
like to play. To make a database your repertoire database right-click the icon in the
database window and select Properties. In the dialog that appears click the
“Repertoire database” checkbox.
ChessBase has a number of functions that will help you look after and even
automatically update your repertoire.
In ChessBase 13 you can manage your opening repertoire in two databases, one for
White and one for Black. It is recommendable to keep these two databases in the
ChessBase 2014
